Research Assistants needed
Dance Chance is a school-based program offered by Pacific Northwest Ballet and provides standards-based dance instruction in partnership with local schools. Students are in grades one to eight. Dance training for students from diverse backgrounds is a priority. Some evidence indicates that the dance training has a significant impact on general education and life skills. MSW students are sought to assist in interviews of parents, teacher, students and dance instructor to identify impact on social, academic, and emotional skills. The pilot study involving initial interviews is time sensitive and will support a mixed method evaluation to take place after the interviews. Payment is $15/hr. Work can begin immediately.
