Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Introduce KIPP Stand Academy's middle-school students to photojournalism as a powerful tool for creative development, self-expression, and visual communication. Evaluation tools developed for previous programs, as well as KIPP Stand Academy's criteria, document student involvement and progress in and out of scheduled sessions. We both review data, and evaluate project success in meeting our mutual objectives and goals. 2: Establish the KIPP Stand Academy Newspaper, staffed by students who tell stories through photos and text while keeping an eye out for newsworthy events. Students will have learned photojournalism fundamentals: how to tell a story with a camera, use a sound recorder to capture interviews for transcription into accompanying text and caption lines, and lay out final pages to print using design software.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students learned the fundamentals of photojournalism, including how to tell a story with a camera and how to take notes to capture interviews for caption lines. 2: Students learned photography and caption-writing during each session, building on past knowledge each time.
