STACY CHRYSSIKOS Arts-In-Education Coordinator

Dear Arts Representative, This School Program Evaluation Book was compiled from all the in-school Arts Programs/Events contracted through the Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES Arts-In-Education Service during the 2018-2019 school year. How to Use This Evaluation Book:

1. The evaluations are in alphabetical order either by the first name of the artist or by the name of the company/organization.

2. The evaluations were completed by participants who viewed programs or worked with the artists.

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 distinct, the evaluations were entered separately.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 914/248-2349 or send an email to: [email protected]. I look forward to another successful year working with you. Very truly yours,

mailto:[email protected]

Group Dance - too many students involved. Perhaps substitute this activity with another one that allows smaller groups. One consideration would be to haivng the individual class dance, weather permitting, to the outdoor area under cover.Individual Class Dance - Behavior during the "dab" and "whip and nene" seemed to decline during the dance in the hallway. Consider replacing these from the script.Dame School - Could the school prayer perhaps be read instead of recited? Some students with special needs or those who are poor spellers may be given the choice whether to participate in the spelling bee avoiding becoming the "dunce".

While it was explained later, some of the language was offensive (for example calling a woman on the ship "fat"). Maybe they could have told students that the language was authentic to the time prior to the performance.Make the performance a bit longer to include more information and a more involved presentation. Help students to prepare questions in advance or expand on specific topics.

Add more diversity (another character) and add another country.Practice practice practice - accents came and went.

It would be helpful to have consistency with the dance instructors - having four different instructors led to some confusion, because of slight variations in their presentation.Also, it would help to make the evening performance earlier - 6:30 or 7:00pm start time for students or families as students have to be at school the next day.

If it is possible for Joe to checkin earlier - it might make adjustments easier for the children to make.

Specifically, we would suggest that the performance be focused on its strongest attribute - a definition of culture. Then organize the entire assembly on this definition and its aspects. The strong points of the performance - views of villages, examples of making rather than buying - were mentioned rather than taught. We would suggest making two or three teaching ponts about culture that are streessed (maybe even presented in writtten form). The workshops could then be organized around examing these points - perhaps even having students create something given certain "resources".
