Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The workshop is designed to serve the 120, 8th grade students at Global Arts Plus. The three week media production workshop is followed with a film festival where students will present their films. Using survey data from previous workshops - only ~5% of students had made a movie from a script prior to the workshop. Using post-workshop survey data - 87% provided a positive response related to the workshop experience. The Screenwriting and Media Production Workshop curriculum will be evaluated by students, educators and will be reviewed by the Advisory Board. During the workshop, pre and post-workshop surveys will be distributed to students to collect feedback from the workshop. Artistic and academic outcomes will be evaluated on finished projects, quality and production value of the project. The students will also show their finished projects to an audience, receiving valuable feedback from their peers and the general audience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Bringing 120 students into the workshop and teaching them to tell a story - putting it on film (video) and showing it to a public audience. Then there are the 3-5 kids that I will hear during class - "this is what I want to do" ... then I run into them at the grocery store and then are working on film projects in high school!
