Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Students will practice reading/writing skills and perform in their community frequently, further engaging new community members with ComMUSICation and giving students a positive risk-taking opportunity and engaging families.Our artistic outcomes will be measured by a sound artistic process (see artistic quality). Educational outcomes will be evaluated by an attitudinal pre/post-test, student attendance, community performance turnout, post-camp surveys for students and families, and retention of students into fall programming.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Thirty three 3rd - 5th grade students learned music from Ghana and Kenya while also practicing reading and writing skills, and 1,000 Frogtown neighborhood audiences attended 7 performances.
