ACHF Arts Education
Children apply the difference between passive and active listening, learn music terminology and apply those terms to different expressions of music. Evaluators measure progress by observing each of the program's interactive activities and analyzing teacher, student and community surveys. 2: Families with little access to professional arts learning activities engage with professional teaching artists in a comfortable, accessible setting. Evaluators measure community engagement with attendance data, community surveys and observational data.

We used a Google Survey sent to all school staff and families (if we had contact info) after every performance that measured student learning and engagement. 2: Families with little access to professional arts learning activities engaged with professional teaching artists in a comfortable, accessible setting. Attendance data showed families took advantage of the arts experiences we provided in their communities, and school officials provided context for our observations.
