Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Eagan Art House will expand number of program participants to venues beyond the art center facility. Success will be measured by the number of youth and teen participants in EAH On the Road programming. Evaluative measures will include student retention and parent satisfaction with the program. 2: Participants will develop their artistic skills through engagement with EAH teaching artists. Teaching artists will evaluate skill development with clearly defined learning objectives. Activities for exhibition and peer critique will also be included in the evaluative process.

Measurable Outcome(s)

EAH added a middle school after school program, 3 summer program sites and one senior housing sites. Increased the frequency at existing sites. We did not distribute surveys; teacher reports indicate a high satisfaction among students and a high retention level between sessions. Other facility/program staff reported positive engagement of students and positive feedback from parents. 2: Participants developed artistic skills through well planned /outcome-based curriculum.
