Teachers register now for Lowcountry Writing Project
February 3, 2015
Deadline Feb. 20
No cost if accepted
The Lowcountry Writing Project, Charleston’s local affiliate of the National Writing Project, is now accepting applications for the 2015 Invitational Summer Institute. The deadline to apply is Feb. 20.
The institute brings together teachers in all grade levels and all disciplines for four weeks of reading, writing, research, and practice. Participants, invited on the basis of an application and a personal interview, meet each day to write, discuss their writing, read about and discuss effective ways to teach writing and use writing as a learning tool, research writing topics of their choice, and improve their teaching practices by leading or taking part in demonstrations of effective teaching practices. Participants earn six hours of graduate credit; a grant covers the cost of tuition and books.
Most sessions will take place at The Citadel, with Wednesday sessions at The Citadel Beach Club. There will a pre-institute conference on March 7, along with a writing marathon on April 25. Applicants need to be able to attend all sessions, and should not plan to take other classes concurrent with this institute.
Applications are due Feb. 20, followed by an interview at The Citadel on Wed., Feb. 25 at 5:00. Applications are available online at www.citadel.edu/writingproject. For additional information, call 843-953-1418, email [email protected], or visit the website.
