Arts Project Support

We have three measurable outcomes for this project in relation to our goals. 1. 10-15 students in each class, totaling between 40-60 students participating in the program. 2. 85% positive responses from students that they learned something new and felt safe to be freely creative in the classroom. 3. 75% positive responses from families, siblings, friends, and immediate community that they felt had more resources to support their trans and non-binary children at home. Uprising will evaluate each of our artistic goals and outcomes through surveys and in-person conversations. For our goal to create more learning opportunities we will send post-program surveys to our participants and their families to evaluate what they learned and if they felt like they grew a particular skill set through the program. For our goal to maintain a welcoming learning environment, we will distribute surveys to participants (families - if the student is too young) and teaching artists to evaluate if students felt their classroom was safe and affirming and if the teaching artists felt they had the resources they needed to cultivate this environment. For our third goal of expanding support at home we will survey our final showcase attendees, parents, and family members to determine if they feel more prepared to support their children outside the classroom setting.
