Summer Four-Week Writing Institute
Description: The Summer Institute provides a supportive, dialogic environment in which to explore possibilities as writers, teachers and leaders. The theory and practice of writing are examined through individual demonstrations, reading and discussion of current research, and writing and sharing in writing response groups. Twenty-five K-12 participants develop their leadership potential for a variety of roles, including local school/district reform efforts that support the education and success of all of Oregon's diverse student population. Social justice and social action underpin the experience in an attempt to embrace democratic ideals. Participants must submit an application to be accepted into this program. Applications are due March 20, 2009 and can be downloaded here.
