    WRITING
    PROJECT

    “A curriculum is a design for the future.” Guenther Kress, Writing the Future: English and the Making of a Culture of Innovation

    For 15 years, Red Cedar Writing Project (RCWP), Michigan State University’s site of the National Writing Project
    (NWP), has embraced a "teachers teaching teachers" approach to teacher professional development. During the RCWP
    Invitational Institute, teachers demonstrate for one another promising approaches to teaching writing, focus on their
    own fiction and non-fiction writing, participate in writing groups, identify questions they have related to the teaching
    and practice of writing, and engage in reading that expands their understanding of literacy pedagogies and policies.
    Each year, sixteen outstanding teachers of writing who represent a range of grade levels and disciplines are
    selected to participate in the annual Red Cedar Writing Project Invitational Summer Institute. Teachers selected for
    participation in RCWP receive a tuition waiver for three MSU graduate credits (AL842) and either a $500 cash stipend
    or tuition for AL 893D (completed post-institute), as well as various texts. Participants may instead choose to receive
    SB-CEUs, a $500 stipend, and various texts and technologies they will use during the Summer Institute.
    At the conclusion of their work in the invitational institute, these teachers are recognized as Michigan State
    University RCWP Fellows, and NWP Teacher Consultants (TCs) — a credential that is recognized in all fifty states and
    nine foreign countries. As TCs, many are subsequently invited to design and conduct workshops on the teaching of
    reading and writing for their own and other school districts. APPLICATIONS ARE DUE FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2009.

    Application Process: Complete the application on the back, attach a resume, and send
    RCWP Invitational Institute a cover letter that...

    2) States your reasons for wanting to participate in the Red Cedar Writing Project at
