Ready for an adventure?
Yes, we still have openings in for our Summer Writing Workshop at SUNY Cortland!
We still have stipends to help defray course costs.
It takes 5 minutes to fill out the online application.
OUR ABCs:
A Writing helps you teach in all subjects. It helps kids think and learn.
B Very few of us get many supportive opportunities to harness the power of writing for the classroom.
C The best teachers of writing are teachers who write.
What to Expect:
The Summer Writing Institute is an intense writing, research and leadership summer seminar, part of the National Writing Project.
All participants are self-selected, creating a supportive, geeky, creative bunch of educators, K-12 and across the curriculum.
In collaboration, we create practical ways to use writing and become writers for three great weeks in the summer.
Yes, we have a CTLE number and are also a graduate course at SUNY Cortland.
You will get a chance to tell your own stories, do your own research, lead writing workshops, and give feedback to highly motivated peers!
Deadline is Monday, June 12.
June 26th – July 14th

Major Areas of Work at the Summer Writing Institute:
-
Leadership, in which teachers develop and lead writing-to-learn workshops.
-
Multi-genre writing, in which teachers create a portfolio of themselves as writers.
-
Research, in which teachers construct and reflect on a deep reading project addressing each individual’s burning question about teaching.
Each of these prepares participants to become Teacher Consultants who can then conduct professional development with their peers.
