Across this spring, we have learned more about teaching writing, and more about teaching virtually, than any of us ever would have thought possible—and there were many moments of surprising beauty. Join us to be invigorated, inspired, and educated in forward thinking ways for our new world. The TCRWP Writing Institute is designed for educators, classroom teachers, school administrators, and curriculum specialists who are committed to turning writing classrooms into beautiful spaces, where writers of all kinds and voices flourish, across many platforms and sites, from brick and mortar to virtual.

During this five-day institute, small and large group sections will tackle both what it means to be a powerful writing teacher, and how to do that work virtually as needed. Participants will have the experience of a compelling virtual writing workshop every day in their small group and advanced sections, and will take away new knowledge and tips about virtual instruction, as well as deep knowledge of the teaching of writing. You’ll learn more about feedback, about conferring and small group work, about assessment, about phonics, about the rich study of mentor texts, and above all, about building intimacy and connection through writing, including digital and virtual writing. As our educational world changes and grows, you’ll feel equipped to lead and flourish as a teacher of writing.

This institute will offer first year sections only.
