Summer Institute

The Summer Institute seeks to build a network of educators to enhance professional inquiry and critical pedagogy related to the teaching of writing and to support teachers in becoming more confident and versatile writers themselves.

We invite participants to spend time writing in multiple modes, reading, viewing and responding to relevant texts in a variety of ways, and to explore the possibilities for teaching writing as social justice pedagogy. The two-week, six-credit hour course is modeled after the Summer Writing Institute offered by the National Writing Project. Every summer educational leaders from over 200 universities around the globe come together to write and further their professional journeys.
