School Arts Project Grant

880 students in the Freshwater Eduation District Gifted Consortium schools will attend an assembly where Katie Ziegler will share her experience with the American Idol program. 300 music students will learn about the music Katie plays and how she became a musician. 300 music students will experience a smaller group performance by Katie of her original music. 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.
