Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
I will teach clay classes at five older adult communities where no other clay arts learning is offered. I will record learners’ attendance, establish baselines with surveys to measure mastery of terms, skills, community learning objectives, and note participation in public exhibits of their artwork.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Feigenbaum taught clay classes at five SW Metro senior communities in which no clay arts learning was offered. Interviews established that clay arts learning was new to learners. Observation, Q and As, and quizzes noted mastery at start, during, and end of year. Attendance was tracked and across the board was over 95%. Participation in the library show was 100%.
