Continuity for EMWP Teacher Consultants

Summer Institute Archives can be found here.

Once you’ve completed the Invitational Summer Institute, you are an EMWP Teacher Consultant.  You can continue to be involved in any way you choose. EMWP believes that ongoing support for teachers is a vital part of the Writing Project experience. We invite all teachers who have taken at least one Summer Institute to join the Continuity Program that is right for you.

• Teacher Research Group
  This group provides support for teachers who wonder about their classroom practice and look for systematic ways to answer their questions.

• Summer Invitational Continuity Group
  Teachers fresh out of the Invitational Institute attend five meetings in order to maintain the focus from the summer. Consult Nick Kalakailo, New Teacher Coordinator for more information.
