ACHF Arts Education
Quantitative: 537 K-8 students (the core group) will have an extended arts learning experience with flamenco dance, music, and culture. 3,451 PK-8 students will experience flamenco dance, music, and culture as audience members in the community celebrations. 350 adults will attend community celebrations. Qualitative: Core group students build their understanding and appreciation of and skill in flamenco; Core group students create and present work that is artistically inspiring to them and their community audience; Core group students have a positive arts experience as defined by a sense of enjoyment, accomplishment, and success; Core group students are more open to diverse arts experiences and cultures in the future.Evaluation will be conducted through age-appropriate questionnaires developed by the teaching artist and completed by the arts learners (except at Bryn Mawr and Linwood, where students (kindergarteners and first graders) will be asked in a group discussion for words to describe their experience); arts learner discussion with teachers; a one-hour evaluation meeting of each project team; and attendance numbers at community celebrations. The overall project leader will be responsible for compiling the evaluation information to assess the success of this project in meeting the Artistic Goals and Learner Needs and to help improve future residencies.
