ACHF Arts Education
Each school’s Connective Creations series will be successful (1) when two thirds of students express that (a) they felt compelled to participate in the workshops and share their stories through words and movement, (b) their understanding of community and themselves has grown, (c) that it was a good thing to participate in the workshops, and (d) they desire to have more experiences with dance in the future; and (2) when their regular school instructors express that students’ experiences enriched their own learning objectives. Our evaluation process includes a series of post-CC conversations with staff at each school, CC instructor, and students. These conversations are modeled after the same verbal self-reflection format used in the CCs. Questions include: “I learned how to… I heard stories like…” We will gather feedback that assesses and evaluates the experiences of students, artists, and staff. We will use that information to improve our future practices and develop and shape new programs.
39 students from two high schools participated in extended projects conducted by three different artists. Based on conversations with students and their regular instructors, at least two thirds of students felt that their understanding of their community and themselves increased, that it was a good thing to have participated, and that they desired to have more experiences with dance in the future.
