Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through this project, MOI will publish at least two chapbooks next of student work from the Writers' Table. Additionally, the Writers' Table will serve at least 50 unique students. The method for evaluation will be student data and surveys. The method for evaluation will also include MOI staff using a rubric to evaluate student writing quality and growth in writing quality.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This year, MOI served 76 students through our drop-in After-School Homework Help program and the Writers' Table. In our December chapbook, we published work from 45 young authors and from 38 in May, and 4 multilingual poems were published in our chapbook. This spring, students also had the chance to submit work to two external publications—one local and one national publication.
