Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts learning are identified and addressed. They will use an evaluation tool that Michael Monroe has used in previous residencies that includes “before” and “after” sections to highlight what students have learned. Teaching staff will complete a short survey regarding the residency and their in-service workshop. They will gather informal feedback from students and staff to assess the impact and effectiveness of the program. They will gauge audience reactions and gather responses to determine the community’s perceptions of the activity. The core planning group will conduct an evaluation meeting to assess the program’s effectiveness in meeting its goals.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who were engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increased. Real or perceived barriers to arts learning were identified and addressed.
