ACHF Arts Education
90% of students will develop their own writing projects, and 75% of students will seek to have their work published in the Boom Site Magazine and/or the StoryArk Network podcast. In addition, 100% of students will indicate that they feel included as a part of a community of writers. We will use two survey methods: 1) Fist-to-five to ask participants to rank each meeting experience from fist (bad) to five fingers (best) and adjust accordingly based on the feedback; 2) Formative and summative student surveys to assess student writing knowledge and determine what worked best, what could be stronger, and the three main lessons learned. In addition, we will consider attendance trajectory and the amount of content produced for the StoryArk Network podcast and Boom Site Literary Magazine.
100% of students stated they had more skills to create a story through their chosen literary medium now than they did at the beginning of the Creative Writing Intensive. Students stated they learned how to come up with ideas, the value of deadlines, how to collaborate with others, the ability to write in different genres and more. 100% also felt a part of a community of writers.
