Sectors

The Lincoln Center Scholars program is a training and certification model that supports artists to obtain a master’s degree in arts education while teaching full-time in New York City public schools.

Public Works Partners conducted a year-long evaluation of the program to both measure program effectiveness and explore the broader impact of increased access to arts education for youth.

Our Strategy

We investigated the factors that drive successful outcomes.

We paired quantitative and qualitative analysis – including online surveys, interviews, focus groups, and classroom visits – to contextualize program outcome data with the experience of its stakeholders. This allowed us to both measure program effectiveness and explore the broader impact of increased access to arts education for youth.

Impact
and Outcome

Our findings positioned Lincoln Center to use data-driven insights to speak to program effectiveness and the impact of increased access to youth arts education.

The project culminated with a synthesis of our evaluation findings and recommendations detailed in a final report, as well as an executive summary which Lincoln Center can use to present the impact of the Scholars Program to funders.
