Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program students will have the opportunity to look at the world through the camera with lessons and inspiration from photographer Mica Lee Anders and capture photographs in an artistic composition. Evaluation will occur through student and teacher questionnaires with questions to find their feelings about the residency, public reaction to photograph exhibits and follow up conferences with the residency planners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our students were able to create stories with writer-in-residence, Stephen Peters. Even in a pandemic students were able to complete the residency with a positive experience with the help of technology. Our goals were met with students writing, working with a professional writer and sharing those works.
