Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute hopes to publish at least 30 student pieces in each end of semester chapbook, totaling to at least 60 published original works by students of varying ages by the end of the 2017-2018 school year. We also hope to see 90% of students report an increased confidence in writing skills and expressing themselves creatively. We will institute a participant count for each student that writes at the Writer's Table, as well as tracking the progress of a student's chosen piece for publication from beginning to end. For student and artist feedback, we will create and distribute pre- and post-surveys through Google Surveys that will measure students' skills, confidence, and overall opinion toward writing and creativity.
The Writers’ Table averaged 83 sessions per month with 1000 minutes of writing instruction per month. The average student spends 15 minutes at the Writers’ Table per visit. In December, MOI published a chapbook with 49 pieces from 29 young authors. In May, we published 44 pieces from 28 students. Students improved their writing from a rubric-based average of 2/5 points to 3/5 points over the year.
