Increase arts education, as they listen to and write stories, poems and scenes, perform their work, and respond critically to work. Student participation in activities and writing will be assessed by trained raters with scoring rubric developed by the evaluator and project staff. Participants will be surveyed. 2: The residency will provide additional learning and arts activities that currently do not exist to all students and community members at no cost. We will track numbers of students participating and community members attending and providing support throughout the year. We will survey all concerning current and past participation in the arts.

Writing samples were taken from students, before and at the end of the residency, which were evaluated by the Center for Applied Research for Educational Improvement (CAREI).
