OWP: Four-Week Summer Invitational Institute

The Summer Institute provides a supportive, dialogic environment in which to explore possibilities as writers, teachers and leaders. The theory and practice of writing are examined through individual demonstrations, reading, and discussion of current research, writing, and sharing in writing response groups. Twenty-five K-12 participants from across content areas develop their leadership potential for a variety of roles, including local school/district reform efforts that support the education and success of all of Oregon’s diverse student population. Social justice and social action undergird the experience in an attempt to embrace democratic ideals. Participants must submit an application to be accepted into this program. The application, plus deadlines and important dates, may be found on the OWP website: www.go.lclark.edu/owp .
