3. Project Description Essay
Question 1: Describe your proposed project. What is its overall purpose and how will you
accomplish it?
Neighborhood public high schools in Philadelphia, otherwise known as “schools of last
resort” (Hangley Jr., 2015), face unprecedented challenges. Enrollments and resources are
declining while the percentages of students living in poverty and scoring below state standards
are rising sharply (Garner-Nelson & Cooper, 2015). At South Philadelphia High School (SPHS),
a uniquely diverse “school of last resort,” these challenges are compounded by racial and ethnic
tensions that, at times, have resulted in violence.1
Multiple studies have shown an intervention
proven to address these challenges is creating student access to stimulating after school music
and arts education, which is shown to boost student test scores (Catterall, 1998), promote
tolerance (Catterall, Chapleau, & Iwanaga, 1999), and increase community connectedness
(Nelson, 2002). Despite these wide-ranging benefits, approximately 80% of students in
Philadelphia neighborhood high schools do not engage in ensemble or performance-based arts
programs (Machos, Klopfenstein, & Thomas, 2015).
Our vision is to create RevAAMP, youth-centered, modern arts programs that will
connect students with issues relevant to their lives and empower them to empathize with others,
discover their strengths, and plan for their futures. These goals will be realized by merging arts
activities with mentorship and activism for 6th-12th grade students at SPHS and three
surrounding elementary schools: Southwark, E.M. Stanton, and Chester A. Arthur.2
The
programs will take place after-school at SPHS three days per week and aim to serve 120 students
yearly.
To accomplish our goals, we have recruited local artists and teachers who will assist us in
designing effective, innovative programs. The programs will operate in three tracks: (1) the
Music track will be led by two music instructors from SPHS, (2) the Drama track will be led by
two teaching artists from ASAP,3
and (3) the Visual Arts track will be led by two teaching
artists from ArtWell.4
Each track will hire one additional paid teacher from participating schools
who will help with classroom management and ensure that our programs’ activities align with
each school’s educational directives. Students will participate in their chosen track two days per
week; the third day will include cross-age peer mentoring activities focused on high
school/college/career readiness.5
Hands-on externships and field trips will be provided to help
students plan for their futures while exposing them to all areas of the arts industry.
By leveraging the extensive curriculum design experience of our partners and conducting
school needs assessments, we will create curricula tailored to meet the needs of all schools.

4. Ultimately, we seek to invigorate students and re-define the role of neighborhood schools in
South Philadelphia, thereby furthering Mayor Kenney’s community schools initiative.6
Question 2: What experience (coursework, research, involvement in extracurricular activities,
etc.) do you have that is relevant to your proposed project, as well as to local, national, or global
engagement more generally?
Adam Cohen and Stephen Pintauro believe that their commitment to social justice was
strengthened as a result of their Penn experiences. Adam took four Academically Based
Community Service (ABCS) courses on education, nutrition, and social policy in his freshman
and sophomore years. As an intern with the Netter Center, Adam worked closely with teachers
and counselors at two local high schools to design and implement three college access and career
readiness programs, involving over 200 high school students and over 100 Penn students. Adam
continues to work in the high schools three days per week. Adam’s commitment to public
education in Philadelphia was recognized when he was named a 2015 Truman Scholar.
Stephen’s passion for community activism and the arts is exemplified by a community-
based after-school arts program he helped create and facilitate in rural South Africa. The
program was awarded the Gelfman International Summer Fund and Saint Anthony Hall
Educational Foundation Grant in 2015. Stephen has taken multiple ABCS courses at Penn and
has worked with middle school students at Jackson and Comegys Elementary Schools on high
school applications. Penn’s Masters of Public Health Program recognized Stephen’s commitment
to community engagement by awarding him the 2015 Marjorie A. Bowman Undergraduate
Public Health Service Award. Additionally, Stephen has deejayed professionally with 20+ public
performances including openings for many famous artists.
On the project, Adam and Stephen will conduct program design and evaluation and also
lead marketing efforts. Adam will head high school/college/career readiness curricula and
Stephen will lead arts-based curricula.
Question 3: What will be accomplished if your project is implemented successfully? How will
you measure success?
Successful completion of our innovative programs will 1) engage youth in critical
thought and dialogue through a socially impactful arts curriculum, 2) unite administrators,
teachers, parents, students, and community organizations in a way that will increase support for
local neighborhood public schools, and 3) create a community of students who feel inspired to
collaborate and create music, theater, and art projects while cultivating their “academic
tenacity.”7
Intentionally, all aspects of our programs align with the School District of Philadelphia’s
(SDP) Action Plan 3.0 (2015) and the SDP’s Office of Music Education’s Music Innovation Plan
(Machos et al., 2015). Therefore, we will measure the success of our programs based on
indicators in each plan’s four key metric areas: Achievement, Progress, Climate, and
College/Career Readiness.8
Additionally, we will use pre- and post- student surveys each

developed in conjunction with our teaching collaborative. Kenya Gayles, as head teaching artist
of our programs, will perform monthly site visits to ensure teachers are completing program
activities on time, adhering to the program scope and goals, and promoting positive behavior.
We will evaluate community and parental involvement through a culminating public
performance at the end of each semester.
Question 4: How will you work with your project mentor to achieve your stated goals?
If the prize is awarded, we will present monthly program updates to Dr. Ira Harkavy. On
a rotating basis, one teaching artist and one staff member will join the monthly meetings. At
these monthly meetings, Dr. Harkavy will (1) provide feedback on the timing and
implementation of programs and activities, (2) review and comment on our budget expenditures
to ensure that all financial decisions are maximizing the prize’s impact on students in South
Philadelphia, and (3) assist us with assessment activities (the collection and interpretation of
evaluation data) to ensure the project’s ultimate success and sustainability after one year.
