How do we Measure Success in our Programs?

Global Education Center evaluates success of its multicultural arts programming both objectively and subjectively, working closely with our diverse team of international and minority artists and their communities in program planning, implementation and evaluation. A program is considered successful if it is well received by participants; if participant numbers and repeat attendees are increasing; if audiences/participants are culturally diverse and primarily under-served; and if comments and evaluations by participants are positive and validate the artistic excellence, cultural sensitivity and community relevance of the program. To measure success, we track the numbers and demographics of participants in all programs that occur on-site at the Center, at area schools and at those community events over which we have control. For larger community events, such as festivals, we estimate the number of participants based on a percentage of the total audience, making a subjective evaluation about the extent to which the audience represents cultural diversity and under-served populations.
We collect comments that are shared with us by community members, organizers and artists who are involved in our community programs. The artists' views about the success of our programs are especially valued as they represent the diverse international and minority populations in our community, enabling us to continue creating relevant and welcoming arts programming that is respectful of the importance of the multicultural folk and traditional arts in daily life. For our exciting work in area schools, both with students and teachers, we have objective evaluation sheets where different aspects of our multicultural arts programs are ranked, as well as more subjective evaluation forms and journals through which comments are shared on specific programs and artists. These comments and evaluations are shared with our teaching and performing artists to help them better serve our school communities by understanding how to present their culturally unique art forms in the most appropriate way. Because school programs are designed and planned with the assistance of each specific school, we have enjoyed primarily positive responses to our multicultural arts programs over the last nineteen years. We measure our effectiveness by the high rate of repeat requests for our services by schools and individual teachers; by the high level of enthusiasm, excitement and engagement by participating students and teachers; and by the excellent reputation we have garnered.
Most importantly, we evaluate the success of our multicultural arts programming by the level to which it fulfills our mission and by the lives we change through active participation in the arts. We are especially pleased with the impact our programs have on African-American youth, especially males, who are thriving in the arts and choosing life, education and community service over drugs, violence and prison. We are also thrilled with the increasing number of Latino families who are participating in our programs, which is quickly growing through our presence at Meharry, in Metro schools and at our satellite studio on Nolensville Road. Families served at all three locations come from all over Nashville and surrounding areas, and many are now becoming more involved in our programming at our main site on Charlotte Avenue. We value the positive reception shared by students, families, teachers, artists and the community to the outstanding, accessible and affordable multicultural arts we consistently strive to deliver.
