DCWP Summer Invitational Institute
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AREA WRITING PROJECT
2009
SUMMER INVITATIONAL INSTITUTE
The Summer Institute is a five-week program which prepares DC area teachers to become teacher consultants and change agents in their schools and school districts.
During the Institute, teachers examine problems in the teaching of writing; demonstrate effective approaches to the teaching of writing, study current and past research in the field and write in a variety of styles from various perspectives.
After the Institute, teacher consultants conduct workshops and attend follow-up seminars related to literacy development and standards based education
This Institute is sponsored by the District of Columbia Area Writing Project, a collaborative effort of the National Writing Project and Howard University.
Comments and Reviews from Past Participants
“DCAWP is truly a great program. It gives you the opportunity to explore your writing potential; to learn new and exciting strategies for your classes, and the opportunity to be a part of a truly great community”
“This is, cliche as it may sound, life changing! I found myself a writer again. The course was a balance of creative writing and academic writing. And compared to the other trainings I attended, this is the best! Not only because the participants were the best among the best, but also because the trainers were also the best in the field.”
“The teachers teaching teachers philosophy was highly relevant to elementary. Jr. high and high school teachers”
“Constructing a portfolio was one of the most valuable activities in the project for me because I was forced to gather, organize, synthesize and analyze. This portfolio is an important tool, and I’m grateful for the experience of creating it.”
“This was, by far, no comparison the best program I have attended, and I have been to many. I learned so much to improve my own writing and great ideas to take back to the classroom. I have grown as a writer, teacher and colleague.”
