School Arts Project

2000 students in the Freshwater Education District Gifted Consortium schools will attend an assembly where Gary Timbs will share who he is, how he became a musician who worked with many of the great musicians from around the country, and will hear his music in April, 2015. 750 music students will learn about the gospel music roots of many popular performers and the quality of dedication it takes to be a professional musician. 750 music students will learn about the music of African American culture in the South. Students will complete an evaluation of the project, seeking their feedback about the experience, also to assess what they learned. Teachers will complete an evaluation of the project, which will assess both the content and delivery of the project, as well its impact on the students. Gifted Coordinators from the participating schools will assess the project and its value to students and teachers. The feedback gleaned from these various forms of evaluation will be tabulated and recorded.
