A Taste of the LIWP
Join us on September 26, 2019
Get to know the Long Island Writing Project!
On Thursday, September 26th, come experience what professional development could be like with the Long Island Writing Project! On the top floor of the Tower building at Nassau Community College, we invite you to come between 4:30 pm-6:00 pm to get to know the LIWP, see what we can offer schools and educators, and find other passionate educators who care deeply about the teaching of writing.
The LIWP comprises teachers from kindergarten through university. Our seminar leaders are outstanding educators from different grade levels and disciplines in local schools, and we have a strong, ongoing partnership with Hofstra University's Department of Literacy Studies. LIWP teacher-consultants keep up with research and changes in education and their work is grounded in practical classroom approaches. Through our model of teachers teaching teachers, participants in the LIWP strengthen the classroom strategies they already find effective in teaching writing and develop new ones.
One of the most important foundational beliefs of our Project is that teachers improve their knowledge of teaching writing by writing themselves. Another is that the best way to improve our own teaching is through sharing what works with other effective teachers.
We hope you can join us on Thursday, September 26th! Please RSVP using the Google Form below by Monday, September 23rd.
