The evaluation methods include the numbers of participants, the feedback from audiences, parents and students, tickets sales of the show. Board members will meet with all teachers to review the information collected, compare with the evaluation with that of prior years, to pin point where we get improved and where we need to plan more detail to reach the new level.
