Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of students and educators gain knowledge and skills in the visual arts. 95% of students create quality art products informed by environmental knowledge of birds. 100% of students and educators strengthen their commitment to taking action on behalf of endangered or threatened bird species. Qualitative assessment tools are used to measure student learning in art and science that include informal observation of student engagement and conversations with students by artists, educators and the project evaluator as they are creating art. Professional evaluator, Dr. Christa Triechel, also conducts a focus group inviting teachers and artists to reflect on the impact of the project and evidence of student learning.

Measurable Outcome(s)

3 project coordinators reported that 50-95% of participants created art work based on receiving an art kit and pre-recorded instruction- two nature lessons on birds, one poetry and five art activities on birds-making a nature journal, drawing birds, toy theater, Crankies, and a birdfeeder from reuse materials. 100% of participating students enhanced their ability to express themselves creatively.
