Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will be able to offer quality after school arts programming to students in 5 to 7 local schools. The schools we are working with have little or no arts programming and this program will be able to tie into enhancing school offerings.Course evaluations will be given at end of class. Other data to be tracked: What is the qualitative feedback about our program and instructors - are they engaging the participants, and are they professional and responsible in the classroom setting? What is the qualitative feedback received from the instructor - Did they have a rewarding experience and where they well supported at the individual school?

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students in eight Minneapolis schools with little or no arts programming participated in multiple after school arts activities, and school personnel reported high satisfaction with programming.
