“Will this be on the test?”  The arts exist outside traditional methods of measuring student growth and knowledge and ask us to use our own creativity in establishing what constitutes “success” in the arts classroom.  We’ll look at both objective and subjective methods for assessing arts learning and zoom in on which tools are the best fit for which purposes.  Whether you’ll be communicating with students, educators, administrators, or funders, we’ll give you the tools to demonstrate the ways in which students grow and learn in your classroom.

Students will:

·      Learn to set flexible assessment parameters that marry traditional technical skill sets with student-led goal-setting.

·      Explore different arts assessment tools and which applications bet fit which tools.

·      Consider the variety of viewpoints from which an assessment can be administered, reviewed, and shared, including student assessments, teaching artist reviews, administrative feedback, and partner-teacher input, among others.

·      Reimagine ways of communicating the impact of your program at the student, educator, and administrator level.
