Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Zenon Dance Company will conduct a five day residency with 45 NETS students. The project outcome will be evaluated by student participation and a review of student behaviors. 2: 45 NETS students will attend and appreciate a professional performance of the Zenon Dance Company. The outcome will be evaluated by student participation and behavior at the Zenon Dance Company performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Zenon Dance Company conducted a five day residency with forty-eight NETS and Mounds View REACH Academy students that included a student performance. The concept that dance helps students with mental illness continue with their recovery has been reinforced. Each student that participated in the Zenon residency increased their self-awareness, confidence, trust, sense of belonging, and knowledge of additional methods of self-expression. Another method of program evaluation is the rate of participation. This year when the Zenon residency occurred NETS and REACH Academy each had 24 students that participated. 2: Unfortunately, due to factors beyond our control, Zenon Dance Company did not do a professional performance we could attend.
