This two-week professional development opportunity is available to all K-12 teachers. Teachers will develop strategies for teaching writing as they participate in individual writing, professional reading discussions, and teaching demonstrations. This year's workshop will also explore ways to engage students in authentic writing projects by integrating human-centered design, which makes this workshop beneficial for teachers in all disciplines!

Stipend and PD credits will be available.  Graduate students working toward a degree may register for graduate course credit. Tuition waivers can be applied or the stipend can be used to help defray the cost of tuition. Other participants will receive CPDUs in addition to the stipend.
