The National Writing Project at Rutgers University educators will facilitate on-site summer workshops for incoming seniors to develop thoughtful and powerful essays for college and university admission.

Location:

The National Writing Project supports the principle that educators should write. This institute highlights the value of educators writing about their practice by creating time and support for the work. Writing from educators finds its way into local, regional, and national publications, making visible the beliefs and practices of teachers to a broad audience of fellow educators, legislators, and policy makers.

The National Writing Project at Rutgers Open Institute is a five-day professional development experience designed to move teachers through a process of self-awareness as a writer into self-awareness as a teacher of writing. Critical to this process is reflection on one’s own experience as a writer. Participants will write, frequently! Teachers from all disciplines and grade levels are welcome to participate. The experience is enriched when teachers across grades and subject areas write together and share their writing.

The National Writing Project at Rutgers University’s English Language Learner Institute is a three-day workshop designed for teachers from all disciplines and grade levels who are interested in learning more about how to support ELLs in the classroom.
