The Eastern Michigan Writing Project is now accepting applications to participate in the 2012 Summer Invitational Institute, June 21-July 19, 2012.  Applications are due Friday, March 2, 2012. Learn more about this opportunity at the EMWP web site.

The Summer Invitational Institute is an intensive four-week session designed for teachers and administrators (K-College) concerned with the teaching of writing in any subject area and interested in staff development opportunities. We seek teacher applicants who demonstrate their commitment to the teaching of writing and who wish to expand their knowledge. We encourage teachers from all disciplines and grade levels to apply. Some activities during the Institute include:

• Writing and responding to each other's writing
• Reading and talking about current research in the teaching of writing
• Demonstrating to each other our own teaching practices
• Learning from other teacher consultants who continue their research in the field
