Puget Sound Writing Project Invitational Institute

The Puget Sound Writing Project Invitational Institute is an intensive four-week program for teachers of any subject, at all levels – kindergarten through college – who are interested in writing. Participants will:

Learn about the teaching of writing from other teachers. Write, share writing, and reflect on the processes of writing and teaching. Explore current theory and practice in the teaching of writing, authentic assessment, collaborative learning, multiple intelligences, writing across the curriculum, writing to learn, technical writing, and incorporating state standards. Meet with professional writers to talk about writing and the writing process. Develop leadership skills.

The institute focuses on the writing process and the teaching of writing, accomplished through research, writing and demonstration of writing instruction. PSWP is co-sponsored by the University of Washington's Department of English and the National Writing Project and in partnership with the College of Education.

The program is offered each year on the UW campus in Seattle.
