Out of Classroom- Into the World!
LIWP Saturday Series
Out of the Classroom and Into the World: Creative Ways to Find and Raise Your Professional Voice
What are you proud of in your teaching practice? What stories do you have to tell? With what do you struggle? What do you wish people knew about schools - about children, or teenagers, or teaching, or learning?
In Katherine Schulten's interactive workshop, join us to talk about why the world needs your unique teacher voice. We will look at the many interesting forms "voice" can take in 2018. Via a series of exercises, we will identify the ideas, issues, questions, and stories that matter to you most, and consider ways to share them.
During the workshop you will work in small groups to take the topics and themes you identified and start a piece of professional writing.
Katherine Schulten has been the editor of the New York Times Learning Network since 2006. Prior to that, Katherine was a high school English teacher and a literacy consultant in New York City public schools. We are thrilled that Katherine will kick off our LIWP 2018-2019 Saturday Series on "Writing for Change."

Have You Joined the LIWP Yet? Still Time!
The Long Island Writing Project
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 welcome your inquiries, and look forward to writing, learning and teaching with you.
The Long Island Writing Project at SUNY Nassau Community College is an approved Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) pursuant to Section 80-6 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, New York State Education Department (NYSED).
