Heart of Texas Writing Project
A Call for ELA Teachers from Colleen
The Heart of Texas Writing Project (HTWP) Manor Cohort will be a group of ELA teachers representative of various grade levels throughout Manor ISD. Participating in this institute will help teachers develop their knowledge and abilities as writing teachers and as leaders in literacy professional development. Participants will spend a good portion of their time at this institute writing, reading, and consulting with other teachers in the Manor ISD cohort. Once teachers have completed the first week-long institute during the summer, they will be valuable members of a cohort of excellent teachers from Manor ISD and will receive support in their teaching and continuing professional development through monthly workshop sessions. Teachers will be appointed literacy leaders at a Leadership Institute in June 2014, after completing all institute work and attending the monthly workshops throughout the 2013-2014 school year.
