Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Parent feedback will show that 75% of children are experiencing theatrical involvement for the first time. Parents will also rate the experience as foundational to their ability to continue to encourage creative expression in their child. Parent participants will complete a written evaluation of the class. Instructors will record verbal comments and also record progress through the curriculum plan, noting where future sessions might improve.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of students and their parents were exposed for the first time to this kind of theatrical activity. The level of social interaction increased during the eight weeks of class to a level that staff commented about the success of the interactions and extreme positive growth of the students.
