Measurable Outcome(s)

At the end of each workshop series, we took time to talk with participants about what parts of our structure worked and didn't work for either learning or general accessibility. Participants loved the curriculum the teaching artists had developed and the biggest request was more frequency or opportunities to build on the art skills they learned. Around accessibility, the issue was timing, and throughout the workshop series we adjusted for later starts to accommodate weekday evening courses. From the instructors' respective we sat down regularly and checked in on how prepared they felt for teaching and how supported they felt by our organization. Some of the artists wanted more or less in-class presences from us as organizers and we made that adjustment where it was needed. When we held our youth courses teachers requested more support with classroom management and we made the adjustment to be present for all of the youth courses. Our approach for evaluation is consistent dialogue.
