SCHOOL-BASED
INSERVICE PROGRAMS
GWP workshops are not one-shot performances.
GWP works closely with districts to plan a cohesive series of session
(15 to 45 hours) tailored to the needs of the attending teachers. Threads
of writing process instruction are woven together with three beliefs:
| * The need for teachers to
write themselves. * The necessity of time, feedback, and ownership for young writers. * The importance of culturally sensitive teaching. |
Rooted in the powerful teachers teaching-teachers model, each workshop
includes demonstration lessons that are classroom tested and research
based. Programs can be offered for credit from the University of Missouri-St.
Louis or from Harris Stowe State College.
Session related to the following topics can be incorporated into any school-based
professional development plan:
| * Teaching Writing: process
and product * Writing to Learn in All Subject Areas * Assessment * Technology and Writing |
