Program Evaluation

The Enhance the Arts team will work with you and your district to facilitate an interactive program review, with a focus on alignment of instruction, team dynamics, operational efficiency, compliance with code, resource allocation, facilities and equipment, safety, and community engagement.   Because your time is limited as a busy administrator, this outside support can be extremely valuable to you in taking your department and programs to the next level!
