ACHF Arts Education
12-15 young people discover and strengthen their creative voices by deeply engaging with peers and Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona; student rubrics showed that 90% reported an increase in confidence and 75% answered yes to the question, “My creative voice was heard by my community”. Student experiences will be qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated after program completion. The evaluation plan includes creation of one rubric for students, developed in close collaboration with project teaching artists, and one survey for parents/families.
10 alternatively schooled teenagers worked with each other and professional theatre artists to create an engaging and culturally critical production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. In post-program surveys, 100% of students and parents reported an increase in student confidence following the program. 100% of students also agreed the experience "made me feel more connected to the arts community".
