Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our weaving instructors will hope to reach at least 130 students over 12 class periods available. The dance classes hope to reach over 500 student participants over 24 class offerings in various Twin Cities locations. Instructors will record number of student participants in each offering at each location. All student participants will be asked to complete an evaluation form about their experience, and we will compile those responses to understand the value of the student experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of the he participation in the weaving class started working on a kebed at the class and 80% expressed the intend to continue learning the art form. Dance classes had about 90% participation in the dances and but 100% reported that they were engaged with learning of the cultures and stories about the dances.
