Dear Colleague:
Welcome to your first step in joining the Chippewa River Writing Project (CRWP) 2010 Summer Institute!
Each summer, CRWP attempts to solicit applications from as diverse a cohort of teachers as possible. To begin the application process, please begin by completing this form.
After completing this form, please respond to the questions below in a separate letter of application (no more than two, single-spaced pages):
- Describe yourself as a writer and teacher of writing. What kinds of personal and professional writing would you like to do during the summer institute?
- Explain an approach to teaching writing that you want to think about with others (one you have tried already or are planning to pursue). Ideally, connect this explanation to your teaching artifact.
- Discuss why you want to be affiliated with CRWP, a site of the National Writing Project (NWP), and to earn an internationally recognized credential as an NWP Teacher Consultant.
Finally, please include a recent resume and one example of a teaching artifact you have created (e.g., lesson plan, assignment, sample of student work with your responses).
Send your letter of application, resume, and teaching artifact to Troy Hicks, CRWP Director, either through email attachments or at the postal address below.
