Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Increased student participation by 25%; more from outside STMA 2. 10% increase in audience from 2017 3. Students' skills and knowledge improved. 1. Collect demographic data from TAG member applications 2. Conduct audience tally during performances 3. Give pre- and post-assessments to students to gauge knowledge and skill levels.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We aimed for a 25% increase in student population from 16 to 20. We actually doubled the number of students participating to 32. We hoped to draw more students from outside the STMA area, which we did, with kids coming from 10 different communities. Based on visual counts, audience numbers equaled a 10% increase. Students increased skills and knowledge, based on observation and self-assessments.
