ACHF Arts Education
Quantitative: 615 K-8 students (the core group) will have an extended arts learning experience with flamenco dance, music, and culture. 1,292 PK-8 students will experience flamenco dance, music, and culture as audience members in the community celebrations. 460 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 and reflection will include arts learner discussion with teachers (using a guide developed by the teaching artist); site leader questionnaires; a one-hour evaluation meeting of each project team; and attendance numbers at community celebrations. The arts learners will engage in further evaluation and reflection in various ways. At Adams, students will answer before and after questionnaires, and reflect on a video of their performance. Arts Learners at Capitol Hill will use their iPads to complete an arts learner questionnaire on Google Forms; 2nd graders at Wellstone will complete a similar age-appropriate questionnaire in writing. 1st and 2nd graders at Linwood and Riverview will use their iPads to interview each other about their experience.
