| Abstract:
The field of evaluation has witnessed a growing interest in more collaborative, participatory, and empowering forms of evaluation. Of particular interest to arts education organizations are approaches that are utilization-focused and provide forms of capacity building for program staff. This roundtable features three arts education organization directors and evaluators who will present their professional development work in terms of its evaluative functions. After the presentations, the roundtable participants will further discuss strategies, tools, and directions that seem relevant to the intersection of these two fields

| Abstract:
This presentation focuses on the evaluation model designed for the Hear Art, See Music program. The Kreeger Museum, in partnership with The Catholic University of America (CUA), received a three-year National Leadership Grant Award from The Institute of Museum and Library Services to develop a national model program that will (1) provide universal access to meaningful experiences in small and mid-size museums and (2) develop capacities in knowledge/ representation, engagement, and expression among students, grades 5-8, with special educational needs. The grant team is developing, implementing and nationally disseminating the Hear Art, See Music curriculum model with the goal of make learning in the arts accessible to all students. In order to create meaningful, and hence, accessible gallery tours and workshops, this process will involve the professional evaluation of the model. This roundtable discussion will pose dilemmas from both the evaluation process and usefulness of the evaluation information about audience and museum traditions; individual versus group responses to museum educational tours and workshops, differences among school populations who learn in different capacities; how to evaluate aesthetic development in regards to music and visual arts, and questions about training and including university students in special education and music education programs as a part of the audience and evaluation process.
