March 6 & 7, 2012
The Northwest Inland Writing Project is proud to announce our annual spring conference. This year the conference will be held at the Spokane Conference Center in Spokane, WA on March 6 & 7, 2012. Tuesday’s keynote speaker will be Jeff Anderson.
Jeff Anderson has worked with struggling writers and readers for almost 20 years. He enjoys sharing strategies that have worked in his inner city classrooms. In particular, he enjoys helping teachers integrate grammar and editing instruction into the processes of reading and writing. Jeff has written articles in NCTE’s Voices from the Middle, English Journal, as well as Educational Leadership. NCTE awarded Jeff with the Paul and Kate Farmer Award for his English Journal article on teaching grammar in context. He has published two books, Mechanically Inclined: Building Grammar, Usage, and Style into Writer’s Workshop and Everyday Editing: Inviting Students to Develop Skill and Craft in Writer’s Workshop as well as three staff development DVDs.
