ACHF Arts Education
Four Literary Teaching Artists will work with four teachers and at least 80 students in each of the two selected schools. At least 80% of students will indicate that they improved their ability to read and to write responsively and to express themselves in a confident manner. Pre and post-surveys of students will be used to measure change in behaviors related to having been exposed to African American literature and cross-cultural educational techniques. Teaching Artist, Site Teacher and Administrators, and audience feedback will be solicited as well.
As detailed above in the Narrative Section we served 320 students across two Twin Cities elementary schools in the Spring and Fall of 2018. Each school selected one Teach Literary Artist to work with during this period. Both artists were Black Americans. 83% of respondents indicated that they "like to write more"; 88.3% "like to read more"; 26% completed an activity; 84% are more aware of Black literature.
