Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through exposure to music, children experiencing homelessness will see improvements in executive functioning skills. Use of music will be measured and children's self-regulation, impulse control, working memory, and attending skills will be assessed quarterly.

Teachers conducted Teaching Strategies GOLD assessments every 2-3 weeks which showed growth in executive functioning indicators: manages feelings, follows limits and expectations, solves social problems, attends and engages, recognizes and recalls.
