Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residencies that connect student learning to the cultural content of world music and dance performances celebrating arts of the African diaspora. The number of student contact hours, amount of planning time and number of schools will be tracked quantitatively by comparing data from past years to the new project year. Student learning will be observed by teachers and reported by students. 2: Implement reduced ticket prices, bus reimbursements and free residencies to reduce barriers to participation. Quantitatively track number of students able to attend performances via ticket subsidy and bus reimbursements.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Arts learning opportunities increased through experiences connected to world music and dance performances celebrating arts of the African diaspora. 2: Free residencies were offered to 588 students in six schools, and students also attended performances at the Ordway.
