Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For our community interaction students will be doing quick journals during their advisor on their experience. We will get to see parents and students interact with the art show at the end of the year and see by the numbers if it engages students and families who may have never been to the gallary. We use schoology to present quick journal questions and facilitate discussions. Students will journal about art careers, wat they are doing and about the show at the end.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students were introduced and taught how to work with clay and other media. Students attendance that participated in this event increased on these days. Most students overall attendance and engagement in school increased if they were in this program. Behav
