Invitational Summer Institute
Begins June 8, 2020 Educators from throughout Northeast Ohio are joining together from June 8 through June 25 for the Invitational Summer Institute (ISI), a reading, writing, and professional development workshop that provides plenty of fresh ideas for engaging students in reading and writing. Because Kent State University has moved classes online for most of the summer due to concerns about coronavirus, the Invitational Summer Institute is moving online, as well. The Institute will take place on eight days over the time span from June 8-25. It will be a combination of activities that are synchronous (everyone interacting online at the same time ) - and asynchronous (read, write, and reflect at a time that's convenient for participants). |

In 2019, we wrapped up the summer with Write Where You Are, at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, connecting writing to learning in the outdoors. |

The Wandering Book Club meets in the Akron-Cleveland area throughout the school year. Mahoning Valley Book Club meets year-round at the border of Boardman and Canfield. |
NWP-KSU Celebrates
National Day on Writing
at Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Visitors stopped by the NWP-KSU activity table at Cuyahoga Valley National Park's Octagon Shelter throughout the afternoon of October 20 to celebrate the National Day on Writing. Participants engaged in activities such as "What Am I?" riddles, personalized comic strips, a "leaf" poem, or a nature journal. Each visitor also contributed a line to a "Where I'm From" poem, as well as a found poem
The event was co-hosted by Cuyahoga Valley National Park and NWP-KSU as part of a two-week celebration of Write Out, a place-based learning partnership between the National Writing Project and the National Park Service.
