Northwest Inland Writing Project: Promoting Literacy Across the Curriculum

UICDA Education Professor Emily Duvall, Director of the Northwest Inland Writing Project, and the NIWP Leadership Team, are offering a series of summer institutes and workshops to help educators incorporate writing across the curriculum.

“The work of writing project sites, like the NIWP, is exciting because it’s done by teachers, teachers who are leaders in the field of teaching writing,” said Duvall. “It’s about credibility combined with solid research-based awareness, understanding, and application of what all teachers need to know and be able to do as teachers of writing and as writers themselves.”

The NIWP presents writing as a process, focusing on teaching students how to write for different purposes and audiences; promoting writing as a way to learn; emphasizing ‘correctness’ as part of the process of writing; creating a culture of learners and writers; and providing opportunity for K-University teachers to be practicing writers as well as teachers of writing. The development of teachers as leaders in the field of writing is what grounds the work of the Northwest Inland Writing Project.

Remaining NIWP workshops for educators this summer, include:

Summer Writing Retreat, July 18 - 22, 2011, at Camp N-Sid-Sen, Lake Coeur d'Alene.

Visiting author Lori Wallin offers  three full days/ four nights of writing, learning and relaxation for teachers and/ or writers. There is also a one day option! Professional Develop credit is available.

Coming this Year:  The Energized Writer Series! 

 The Energized Writer Series is a monthly opportunity to participate in activities that stimulate and enhance personal writing development and professional ways of engaging students in writing. Participants will join in energizing recreation followed by a writing workshop.  Examples of what we are planning offer: “Swim, Bike, Run and Write”, “Raft ‘n’ Write”, and “Hike a Trail – Write a Tale”.  Join us for personally engaging professional development, for a break from your routine, or just for fun.  Take one, take the series!
