Class meets Fridays 10 am to 11:30 am from September 30 to November 4 plus a showcase on November 11th. Can you attend all six classes and the final event? *

I can attend all of the classes and the final event, sign me up!

I cannot attend all of these dates, but would like to participate in at least some of them

I cannot attend at all due to schedule conflict (explain below)

If you answered the previous question that you have a schedule conflict, please let us know what the conflict is and whether there is a better time of day for you. If there is a way we can help to meet your needs we'd like to try.

How do you feel about getting help with reading? *

Very shy, I usually try to avoid seeking help with reading.

Confident, I openly seek help with reading all of the time.

How do you feel about your creativity?

“I am not able to express myself by making art”

“I have creative skills but I don’t feel I have any ideas to share.”

“I feel like my point of view is unique and valuable but I don’t know how to express myself creatively.”

“I feel like my point of view is unique and valuable and I know how to express myself in creative ways.”

“Making art is how I express myself best”

Which statement best expresses your feelings about literacy learning?

“I feel like better reading and writing is not possible for me”

“I feel like I could have learned to read and write better but it’s too late now”

“I feel like I might still improve my reading and writing skills but I don’t know how to find the right help.”

“I know I can improve my reading and writing skills, and I know how to find the right help, but I don’t feel ready to.”

“I know I can improve my reading and writing skills, and I am ready to get help.”

Which statement best describes how you experience learning in your community. *

I am not involved in any learning activities right now.

Learning is an activity I usually do by myself with no support from others.

I usually learn one-on-one with a professional (like a tutor or librarian) but do not currently have a group of peers who are learning alongside me.

I have a group of peers I am learning with, but I do not feel comfortable around them.

I have a group of peers who I am currently learning with and feel comfortable around.
