Measurement

New Urban Arts is piloting the following measurement tools:

• Student registration system to measure the diversity of our student body;


• Participation tracking system to measure the duration and frequency of participation;


• Portfolios and exit interviews for artist mentors to measure our ability to engage students in learning and deepening their creative practice;


• Portfolios for students to measure the extent to which they deepen their creative practice;


• Exit interviews for students to measure our ability to build an inclusive, stimulating learning environment;


• A retroactive post survey for parents to measure our parent engagement strategies, as well as the impact in their children that they can feel be attributed to our program;


• Tools for students to assess and deepen their creative practice through our program;


• Tools to measure the extent to which artist mentors build an inclusive, stimulating environment for learning;


• A pre and post survey to measure students progress toward our 3 learning outcomes (self-initiative, social relationships, creative practice), as well as the extent to which New Urban Arts builds an inclusive, stimulating environment, and have effectively trained and supported mentors that engage them in learning.


• Case studies in which the Program Director draws on information for all graduating seniors from their portfolios, exit interviews, the creative practice rubric, and written reflection tools to present the development of students over a multi-year period.
