Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

180 students will participate in arts residency classes during the 2014-15 school year, and 75% of these students will increase their artistic skills and demonstrate them through presentations at the Capri Theater. 80% of the students will identify that tStudent participation will be measured by class attendance rolls. Increase in student artistic skills will be measured by teacher evaluations. Student pride in artistic accomplishments, and interest in pursuing further artistic activities will both be measured by a written survey of participants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The program had 172 students and culminated in quarterly Arts Extravaganzas where the youth presented original, artistic work to an average audience of 150 Plymouth Christian Youth Center students and North Minneapolis residents. The youth said these public presentations led them to learn what they were talented at, and work as a team to collectively decide what they would share with the community.
