Each summer, outstanding teachers from the Midlands are invited
to attend The Midlands Writing Project Invitational Summer
Institute. In an intensive four-week session paid for by school
districts and project grant support, the teachers share their
expertise, study and discuss the teaching of writing, and
work to develop as writers themselves.
Graduates of the institute become National Writing Project
Teacher Consultants, meeting throughout the year to continue
conversations begun during the summer. In addition, the Teacher
Consultants become teacher leaders, providing in-service programs
in their schools and districts throughout the Midlands and publishing books and articles about the teaching of writing.
Admission to the Invitational Summer Institute is based on
an application and interview. We welcome applicants from all
grade levels, content areas, and professional settings. Application
materials are available through district offices or can be
obtained by contacting MWP directly. Districts are generally
expected to fund a teacher's participation in the institute;
however, a few scholarships are available each year.
