Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Winona Young Writers Conference seeks to offer expanded student access to quality arts experiences that are beyond the financial and logistical abilities of individual school districts, thereby overcoming barriers to participation in the arts. Outcomes will be measured by 1) surveys, 2) informal interviews with students, chaperones, and authors, 3) observation of learning sessions, 4) collected samples of student work, and 5) collected data from participation records.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The students were encouraged to express themselves through the arts, were inspired by professional artists and left the conference with new found skills. The college students learned more about the "soft skills" and organization needed on field trip.
