Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student discussion feedback indicates that 95% of participants learned new music composition and vocal techniques for creative expression. Teacher surveys indicate that 80% of students appeared to show a recognizable increase in critical thinking ability. 113 will evaluate the success of this project through 1) the number and diversity of student participants, as measured by head counts and demographic information provided to us by the school; 2) surveys from teachers and teaching artists; 3) the quality of student-produced works; 4) careful review of lesson and performance documentation; 5) group verbal discussion feedback gathered from students and documented in writing by Folwell teachers; and 6) responses from parents following the final concert at Studio Z.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because this project was transitioned to a video series as a result of the pandemic, we have no way to track how many classrooms and students have used the videos. So far several teachers have thanked us for sending them the videos and we excited to have this content for their music students, but they have not given us information on how many students have participated.
