Invitational Summer Institute

Invitational Summer Institute

Held on the campus of UNLV since 1986, the SNWP Invitational Summer Institute (ISI) is a four-week professional development event for local kindergarten through college-level educators who seek to enhance their professional practices through inquiry, community, and the power of writing.

 

"The Southern Nevada Writing Project's Invitational Summer 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."

ISI is led by a dynamic facilitation team consisting of university faculty and teacher consultants representing different schools, subject areas, and grade levels. This highly interactive, "hands-on" workshop encourages teachers to view themselves as writers and explore new modes of teaching and learning.

 

 

 

ISI 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.

"The institute will completely change the way you approach the teaching of writing. It will open your eyes to the writing process as a student, which in turn changes how you approach and discuss the process with students."
