Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community Editor evaluation essays will show that 98% deepened writing skills or learned new writing skills as part of this experience. 85% of Community Editors will feel they have been exposed to new perspectives and approaches to writing through the editing experience. We evaluate through a formalized series of three short personal essays by Arts Learners/Community Editors at the beginning (expectations), middle (satisfaction with progress and assessment of what has been learned), and end (overall satisfaction and/or recommendations for change) of the 12-week workshop series. We facilitate a post-project meeting with Teaching Artist to evaluate their experiences and to solicit recommendations for the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Community Editors provide evaluation essays at the start - what they hope to learn, in the middle - how it's going, and at the end - satisfaction with the process. 98% reported new or improved skills. 80% reported they were exposed to new perspectives and styles, and deeper understanding through the editing process.
