Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance will continue to develop staff roles to provide a high quality learning experience to participants in any of our activities. We will review progress towards strategic goals and class, company and outreach program achievements. Gaps in achievement will inform staffing development and organizational support. 2: Young Dance will systematically implement evaluation methods, consistent across our classes, to articulate areas of achievement and areas of need. We will track evaluation methods implemented, the rate of response, and the action taken or planned as a result. Tracking this data will reveal strengths and gaps in our accountability to learners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Staff positions increased and organizational changes were implemented as a result of evaluation. We collected information through class observations, attendance tracking, surveys, and conversations with participants, families and staff. We identified areas of strength and challenges and articulated organizational goals. 2: We are in our 3rd year of implementing evaluation system which has informed program and organizational development. We are in our 3rd year of implementing evaluation system which has informed program and organizational development.
