Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through engaging in exercises that focus on movement, theater, and music, students will learn how to achieve an emotional and physical state of calm. Surveys and interviews distributed to students and teachers will gauge whether workshops added to student's knowledge of art forms in addition to determining if self-regulatory practices were learned.
