Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through the study of tap, students will gain self-awareness and confidence while shaping the direction of priorities in the classroom and in their demonstration of new skills. 90% of students will be engaged in the process and through the study of individual contributors to the form will have a clearer understanding of American history and culture. We commonly use exit slips at the end of each class to gauge accomplishments and challenges. We will give a short survey to students at the end of the program and interview our partners for feedback and takeaways. They should be able to help us with audience impressions since they will most likely be other students. The artists will take a self study survey and review best practices and areas for improvement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because this was our second attempt at this project our outcomes were realistic and attainable, we achieved our goal for participation and engagement. Most of our scholars performed at the finale' which was a beautiful demonstration of their newfound skills and confidence. We deepened our partnership with stakeholders of the Freedom Schools and we have been invited back.
