Arts Learning
ACHF Arts Education
Youth facing multiple barriers will access sustained high quality arts learning in familiar settings and in their own neighborhoods. Attendance records show number participating and length/depth of participation; intake forms identify demographics and financial barriers; parent surveys reveal additional barriers like time, transportation and stress. 2: Three Teaching Artists will provide opportunities for artistic skill attainment and enhanced positive youth development to 204 youth with few arts opportunities. Youth mastery of arts competencies and progress toward research based indicators of positive youth development are measured using pre and post staff observations, youth self assessments and parent surveys.
209 young people ages 1 to 18 participated in deep, sustained arts learning in multiple disciplines through the Pillsbury House Neighborhood Center and through residencies with area schools. Evaluation methods used for this outcome included analysis of: attendance records and demographic and family data from program intake forms and surveys. 2: Three teaching artists working in collaboration with seven youth development staff provided arts learning for 209 young people ages 16 months to 18 years. Evaluation methods used to determine progress toward achievement of this outcome included: attendance reports; pre- and post- observations of youth (using the 7C’s rubric of positive youth development); assessments of preschool children’s attainment of developmental milestones (using the Creative Curriculum assessment tool) completed by lead teachers; and parent feedback.
