EDUC635

This course is designed as part of National Writing Project programming at Drew University. The Open Institute emphasizes the practices of teachers as writers, teachers as experts, and writing across the curriculum. Each institute has a particular themed focus that allows participants to dive deeply into a particular area of literacy instruction. Participants in the institute will write, read, listen, respond, and teach as co-participants who respect each other’s needs and knowledge. The institute offers the opportunity for teachers to deepen understandings of writing, both products and processes, and to develop writing rituals and relationships that continue well after the “course” has concluded.
