THE INDIANA WRITING PROJECT has worked with various districts to promote professional development. Check out opportunities below for improving the teaching of writing in your school or classroom.

Opportunities For Teachers and Administrators

Summer Institute 2023

In the summer of 2023, the Indiana Writing Project will offering a Invitational Leadership Institute, also known as a Summer Institute, on the teaching of writing at all levels and in all disciplines. Join with other teachers this summer to develop your own skills as a teacher-writer while exploring pedagogies, policies, and research about writing instruction.

Inservice Workshops and Training

Teachers who have completed the IWP Invitational Leadership Institute and additional preparation are available to provide Inservice Workshops, for schools or school districts. Contact IWP and describe your needs, and we will try to match you with a Teacher Consultant who will fit your request. Possibilities for topics include study groups, portfolios, authentic assessment, writing across the curriculum, process writing, reading/writing workshops, and the writing portion of ILEARN.

IWP Teaching Consultants can also contact IWP if they are interested in offering programs like this.
