Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will reach 22 East African-American families through St David's Canter. We will equip St David's teacher with tools to use creativity to work with their students. We will successfully reach a population that has little opportunity for theatrical activity, introducing them to the curriculum and showing through evaluation that at least 50 % of their families found value in the experience. Midterm surveys from parents and teachers, review of handout materials, scheduled times of reflection with staff and a follow-up meeting that reviews needed adjustments are important parts of weighing the ongoing viability (and improvement) of the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were limited in reaching families online with this program but did end up having 9 students (and their families) involved. The equipping of teachers at St. David's was a unanimous success. We did reach this vulnerable population successfully and the feedback was well over 50% positive we projected.
