REA conducted an evaluation of the de Young Museum's Get Smart With Art program for grades 1-3, and 4-8. Get Smart with Art @ the de Young is an interdisciplinary curriculum package that uses art objects as primary documents, sparking investigations into the diverse cultures represented by the Museum's collections.

The evaluation included a logic model workshop, two museum gallery and museum classroom observations, and a review of curricular materials. A primary purpose of this evaluation was to provide de Young Education staff with methods and criteria for conducting a more thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the entire program at a later date.

In addition to the elements listed above, the final report also included:
* A description of proposed evaluation methods and instruments (for classroom, gallery and curriculum materials); and
* A list of research questions aligned with possible evaluation methods and instruments
