WITS directly served approximately 5,001 students and 169 teachers at 32 public schools in the Seattle, Highline, Shoreline, Bellevue, Lake Washington, and Port Townsend school districts, as well as at Children's Hospital. Once schools shut down in March, writers continued to support schools online, through 37 asynchronous lesson plans, 6 paper form lessons, and 19 live video sessions shared without charge with teachers, students, and the community at large. The program also hosted the Seattle Youth Poet Laureate program in collaboration with Urban Word from NYC, mentoring a cohort of 8 writers and supporting Seattles Youth Poet Laureate in community-wide leadership, speaking opportunities, and the publication of their first book. |
