Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The StoryMap project complements our regular arts program by focusing on visual storytelling skills, digital literacy, interdisciplinary learning, and intergenerational community engagement. It expands beyond what our curriculum does, by preparing students for modern artistic practices. We anticipate enhanced artistic skills, increased creativity, a deeper understanding of narrative, and improved self-confidence in students. We'll use portfolio assessments, pre/post surveys, project observations, and community engagement to evaluate the project's impact. Success will be demonstrated by improved skills, positive attitudes, increased community engagement, and overall project satisfaction.
