Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Learning Through Music will serve 192 students enrolled in 24 early childhood special education programs in the Minneapolis Public School district. Students would receive Learning Through Music sessions once weekly for 20 weeks, for a total of 260 direct contact hours in the 2016-2017 school year. Teachers will take objective data during weekly Learning Through Music on classroom goals and the artists will take group data on music and non-musical goals each week. Through data collection, the artists will evaluate student and teacher learning, incorporate feedback, and modify goals to ensure that students are meeting learning objectives along with the process of music making.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 200 students in 24 Minneapolis Public Schools early childhood special education classrooms received 26 hours of direct contact with artists. Teaching artists showed that 90% of students reached their goals by the end of the school year.
