CVWP 2012 Summer Institute
Our fantastic CVWP Summer 2012 Writing Institute will be 2 weeks, July 9-20, for 3 UVA Graduate credits. This Institute is for all teachers, K-12, in all subject areas. We meet all day, 9:00-3:00, for what will be an excellent professional energizer for you! CVWP will pay the tuition, and you will receive, in addition to the 3 credits, two other benefits. You will receive a bit of coaching this spring in an aspect of writing instruction of your choice. Plus, during the 2012-13 academic year you will participate in a Continuity program to support you as you continue to work on your writing instruction.
Applications for this year's institute are now closed.
