(CTC) is a 31-week program of storytelling and creative
drama for elementary and middle school students.
Evaluation
CAREI is evaluating Neighborhood Bridges as part of a grant
CTC received from the U.S. Department of Education’s Arts in
Education Model Development and Dissemination program.
Purpose
The purpose of the three-year study is to:
- Examine the relationship between students’ participation
in Neighborhood Bridges and their learning in the areas of
writing, theatre, and reading, and
- Provide information CTC can use to strengthen the
program.
Collaborators
As part of the study, CAREI is working collaboratively with
Dr. Virginia McFerran of the
Perpich Center for Arts
Education, CTC staff, and Neighborhood Bridges classroom
teachers and teaching artists to develop tools to assess student
learning in theatre.
