THE CCWP INVITATIONAL SUMMER INSTITUTE A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY We bring together experienced teachers across grade levels and disciplines to celebrate and to enhance their professional roles as they share knowledge about how writing can be effectively taught and used in the classroom. It is a truly collaborative professional learning community that benefits from the multiple perspectives provided by the diversity and range of Summer Fellows. TEACHERS AS WRITERS By becoming grounded in the practice of writing, teachers are better positioned to help their students use writing successfully. The institute provides ample time to write for different purposes. TEACHERS TEACHING TEACHERS WITH A STRONG RESEARCH BASE Institute participants broaden and deepen their knowledge base and encounter new ideas to spark and challenge their thinking through readings and workshops by guest researchers as they develop their own classroom inquiry. All teachers in the institute present inquiry-based workshops of their own successful teaching practices. These demonstrations serve to broaden the knowledge base of participants and provide a classroom-based foundation for that knowledge. This institute is the beginning point for the development of CCWP Teacher Consultants and the teacher leadership that guides and sustains CCWP's work. TECHNOLOGY Participants will learn about ways to use technology for writing in their classrooms.
