Multi-Arts Service Program, E.C.I.A. Chapter 2. Final Evaluation Report, 1983-1984.
District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington, DC. Div. of Quality Assurance.
The District of Columbia's Multi-Arts Service Program, whose second year of implementation (1983-84) is evaluated here, is a multi-disciplinary program in music, dance, theater, and visual arts designed for public school students in Grades K-9. The program's primary objectives are to (1) increase student awareness of the arts through assemblies, (2) increase student interest in the arts through lecture-demonstrations, and (3) increase student interest in pursuing the study of the arts through workshops. The assemblies, lecture-demonstrations, and workshops of which the program is composed are developed and presented by teachers and students from Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Findings show that although all types of performances presented were observed to be enthusiastically received, documentation of interest as designed for the project was submitted only for the second objective (the lecture-demonstrations), hence, the first and third objectives were not met as stated. Appendices, which make up the bulk of the document, contain the evaluation model schema; student awareness and interest questionnaires; a sample press release and reservations list for assemblies; samples of unsolicited letters concerning assemblies; a schedule of lecture-demonstration performances; summaries of student ratings; question responses for dance, music, visual arts, and music programs; and the letter used to identify students for workshops.
