Teachers College Summer Writing Institute

Tomorrow I am heading to NYC to attend the Summer Writing Institute at Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP) from Monday through Friday.  I have attended both reading and writing summer institutes at TC in the past and it is always a week full of energy, passion, sharing, and new learning.  Next week, I will be attending these sessions:

  • Very Practical Help Supporting Struggling and Resistant Writers in Information and Essay Writing (grades 3-8) ~ Chris Lehman
  • Revision Comes Not from Applying the Teacher's Newest Strategy, but from Rereading, Internalized Rubrics, and a Growing Knowledge of What Works (grades 3-8) ~ Audra Robb 
In addition to my morning and afternoon sessions, there will be a variety of closing workshops available daily and keynote speakers so it will be a week full of learning!  

All of my posts next week will focus on my new learning from the Writing Institute at TCRWP so stay tuned! :)

  2. The Teachers College Summer Writing Institute sounds like such an inspiring program for educators and students to enhance their writing skills in a supportive environment. Initiatives like this not only foster creativity but also build strong communication abilities that are essential in any field. As someone who values academic growth, I find it exciting to see opportunities where learning is encouraged beyond the classroom. For students tackling more technical subjects, resources like biotechnology assignment help can provide similar valuable guidance, ensuring they gain clarity and confidence while working on challenging scientific topics.
