Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

360 youth demonstrate the ability to create a quality art product using the skills and techniques taught by an artist and informed by the study of their favorite bird that migrates along the Mississippi River Flyway working with a naturalist. 95% of students report they have learned new knowledge or skill artistically and environmentally participating in the project. Both quantitative and qualitative assessment tools are used to measure student learning in art and science, as well as teacher and student attitude. Educators and artists participate in the reflective protocol process together to evaluate the overall success of the residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students from four Twin Cities schools learned how to be citizen scientists at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. 92% of those students reported they learned that both the naturalist and artist share the skill of observation and 95% of students believed they learned a new art skill.
