Measurable Outcome(s)

As stated in the proposal, Measurable Outcome Short-Term. Over the grant period, the successful planning of exhibit-based curriculums to use with teachers and school groups. Evaluation Metric - Development of curriculum scripts and review of scripts by a teacher reviewer to ensure alignment with state educational standards for grades 5-12 in the Arts and Social Studies. The Short-Term Measurable Outcome has been achieved.

The Intermediate and Long-Term Measurable Goals involve implementing the curriculums and building group fee income among school groups serving at least 500 children and youth in 2020 and 2021 and 1,000 in 2022 and 2023. The project has been taken a bit longer than originally planned but we are quite confident the planning process that has been part of this grant will set us up well to implement the curriculums and increase our student group visitors significantly as part of a broader outreach strategy for the museum.
