Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage a new group of students, families, and teachers in a quality theater learning experience. Red Eye will partner with Minneapolis Public Schools to evaluate impact, employing program facilitators who are part of the planning team to capture data related to those served, as well as assessing levels of student achievement that results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The project successfully engaged a new group of students, teachers and others in the broader school community in a quality hands-on theater learning experience. Most of the student participants had limited if any prior experience in theater arts. In addition, for more than 90% of the teachers and support staff, this project provided their first encounter with the Red Eye Tableau Strategy. Participation numbers were tracked by the project facilitators and demographic detail was provided by Minneapolis Public School’s arts staff.
