The SWGWP exists to aid teachers in their quest to become writers and teachers of writing in any class be it math, biology or language arts. We exist to share ideas that inform our classroom practices, to celebrate our successes, to expand the boundaries of literacy activities in and out of the classroom, to honor teachers’ voices, and to welcome teachers into a professional community that believes writing and reading ROCK.
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 11:15AM Hello again-
A new site bulletin has been sent out with the details for the NWP Annual Meeting for this November. You'll never guess where it is being held...
That's right- we'll be in Mouse land for NWP headquarters as well as NCTE. I can't wait!
Monday, June 28, 2010 at 12:29PM Fifteen days whipped past us, but we had a great community of teacher writers this summer. We hope that you all enjoyed your time and will be back eager to join us on our first follow up meeting August 21 at 9am. We'll be giving out the copies of our book and our t-shirts!
Thanks for a great summer ladies!
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 4:06PM We are hosting a "Slice of SWGWP" on June 24. We would love for our teaching friends and administrators to come and visit our site for a day to see what happend in this wild and crazy summer institue we all participate in!
Monday, June 14, 2010 at 1:04PM If you would like to see what we're up to on a daily basis, check out the section of our website called "Day in the Life." In that section (currently under construction), you will be able to find postings as our participants go through this summer's SI.
Due to technical difficulties (can't access downloads on campus), this feature isn't 100% up and running, but we are going to be working over the weekend to get this all ironed out for everyone to post!
Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 11:05AM Time has flown by, and here we are in the first week of June.
You know what that means, don't you?
SWGWP's Summer Institute has started up!
This year we are 13 strong plus our hardworking leadership team. We are all hard at work trying to pull our teaching out of the "stuck place" as we all embark on our summer of inquiry (not to be confused with the summer of love).
We're all excited that today is Thursday because that means social day! We're all going to hang out at The Maze today in downtown Americus, Georgia, for some fun and food. Stop by if you happen to be in the neighborhood- we'll be there from around 2:30pm-4:30pm.
We'll try to make it back here a few times a week with postcards from our institue.
P.S. Don't forget that you can chatter, post, and play on our Facebook page!
