Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Students will be able to demonstrate age appropriate Afro Brazilian dance, capoeira, and contemporary dance movements while providing literary and historic context for this choreography.Assessments will include observation in technique classes, listening and recording responses in Critical Response sessions, viewing drafts of student choreographed dance sessions, creating a rubric for each learner’s personal achievement in movement and choreography, and teacher surveys. All data will be reflected in a final evaluation meeting.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Students at four St Paul public schools were exposed to a movement and music style with which they weren't familiar, and teachers reported that students otherwise disengaged flourished during the residency.
