Spring Visioning Retreat
The TRWP Leadership Team will meet Friday – Sunday, February 4 – 6, 2011, for the annual Spring Visioning Retreat. Each year, this writing- and work-intensive weekend provides a space for the Co-Directors and Associate Directors to reflect on the past year’s projects and to use those reflections to guide plans for the new year. Already on the agenda this year? Rethinking the teaching demonstrations and the role of inquiry in the Summer Institute and developing a new Advanced Institute for TCs.
If TCs have idea for our retreat, they should send Will or Shari an email and let them know their ideas.
Summer Institute 2010
Thank you so much for inquiring about the tar River Writing Project! The TRWP Summer Institute is open to all teachers, K-College, across all disciplines.
The mission of the TRWP is to train teachers to be even better teachers of writing. Our primary method for accomplishing that work is the Summer Institute, an invitation-only four-week workshop for experienced teachers, participants share their knowledge with each other and sharped their own teaching through readings and participating in demonstrations.
After the summer is over, the participants stay active with the project by returning to their classrooms and engaging in their own teacher research, investigating problems they’ve observed as seasoned teachers and considering possible solutions.
