ACHF Arts Education
High school students will learn new dance forms, how to create choreography, and share their choreography with their peers. We will use surveys, TA assessments, and post-performance dialogue to evaluate activity completion, effectiveness of residencies, impact on dance classrooms, and impact on student perception of dance.
High school students learned new dance forms and how to create choreography; and shared their choreography with their peers. We created a Showcase video that documented student learning and a third-party evaluator compiled a report to evaluate activity completion, effectiveness of residencies, impact on dance classrooms, and impact on student perception of dance.
