"The Southern Nevada Writing Project's Invitational Institute is a vibrant and energizing professional development experience. It provides the opportunity for excellent teachers from all levels and areas of the curriculum to come together as a writing community."

During the Invitational Summer Insitute, participants:

• Share and extend our best classroom practices and talk about aspects of our teaching we find challenging
• Write and respond to each other's writing
• Read, discuss, and inquire into the latest classroom-based professional books and research on writing.

Twenty participants will be selected to participate in each institute. Teacher participants are selected with the criteria in mind: (1) success as classroom teachers; (2) openness to learning; (3) ability to contribute to the professional writing and learning community established in the institute; and (4) our need to create an overall balance in grade level and subject area representation, ethnic and cultural diversity, and variety in demonstration topics.

Our application period for Summer Institute is closed.
