2009 Invitational Summer Institute

July 6 – July 31, 2009

We invite you to apply to the Northwest Inland Writing Project’s 2009 Invitational Summer Institute, to be held on the campus of the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. The Northwest Inland Writing Project has been dedicated to improving the teaching of writing in Idaho and Washington schools for nearly thirty years. With its primary focus on academic literacy, NIWP’s Invitational Summer Institute is the centerpiece of the writing project’s work with teachers and administrators. Each summer, NIWP brings together K-college teachers and administrators in all subject areas to share knowledge and experience about how writing can be taught and used in classrooms.

It’s time to start thinking about participating in this year’s annual writing retreat at the beautiful and serene Camp N-Sid-Sen on the banks of Lake Coeur d’Alene.

This year, Bill Woolum will again be our visiting writer. Bill is a native of the Silver Valley of North Idaho and presently teaches in the English department at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. He writes a daily blog where you can "read how a whole range of poetry, book reviews, movie reviews, stories, brief essays, and reflections grow out of a life begun in Kellogg, Idaho, in the Silver Valley of North Idaho."
