Summer, 2015

Dear Arts Representative

This School Program Evaluation Book has been compiled from all the in-school Arts

Programs/Events contracted through the Putnam/Northern Westchester Arts-In-

Education Service during the 2014-2015 school year.

HOW TO USE:

1. The Evaluations are in alphabetical order either by the first name of the artist or

by the company/organization.

2. The Evaluations were completed by participants who viewed the presentations.

3. There is at least one Evaluation for each in-school program/event.

4. If several Evaluations were received for a single program/event, the responses

were merged as one Evaluation. However, if respondents’ views were widely

different, the Evaluations were entered separately.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 914/248-2349 or email

[email protected].

I look forward to another successful year working with you.

Very truly yours,

Arts in Education Coordinator

WHY?

The program was appropriate for all levels - changed a few aspects for each grade level - K/1, 2/3, 4/5. Box Out asked for things special to the school and used those facts in the presentation. They kept the attention of all students with humor while getting across important facts and tools to handle bullying.

The program is run very efficiently and responsibly. I can't think of any suggestions.

It is an amazing program that offers students numerous learning experiences and opportunities for growth in their knowledge of and appreciation for the arts.

I can't wait for these two performers to come back. They needed minimal props and were so entertaining and talented.

WHY?

I think this was one of the best cultural enrichment programs that was brought to our school. The only change I would make would be on my part. I would teach The Giver as the class novel before the show. The artists were professional and very clear in their expectations of middle school students' behavior during a theatrical performance.

It would be helpful if the website had a page for students and another one for teachers that was linked to a segment from Shaun's program.

Thank you to NYS Arts in Ed and Shaun Derik for empowering us to bring such a positive, creative, character education program to our school which encompassed visual, performing and the literary arts.

Shaun Derik's performance inspired and enlightened the JJMS students. Shaun connected with the 6-8th graders in a vital, authentic way and had all of the students interacting and participating in the program. They were enthralled and had so much fun.
