Eastern Illinois Writing Project
Each Invitational Summer Institute kicks off with 15-16 dedicated teachers coming together to learn, teach, and celebrate writing. The Summer Institute provides opportunities for these teachers to celebrate writing and reading across the curriculum at all grade levels, while helping teaching build a community of peers, de-sign and develop writing and reading programs to meet their and their colleagues’ needs. Activities include formal and in-formal writing work-shops, teaching demonstrations, read-ing and research, small and large group discussions, coaching sessions with directors and teaching consult-ants, and celebrating reading and writing for all of the power and potential they possess.
The 2011 Summer Institute will run from July 5-28, with a pre-institute day on June 27 to prepare for the month and a post-institute luncheon in October.
