Programs for Educators
Invitational Summer Institute
NWP-KSU hosts an annual two-week Invitational Summer Institute (ISI) at multiple sites throughout Northern Ohio. ISI participants come away refreshed and re-energized, with new ideas for engaging students in reading and writing. It's a wonderful opportunity to make connections with educators who are passionate about the teaching of reading and writing. Registration usually opens in mid-January. 
Summer Workshops
Each summer, NWP-KSU offers workshops in the teaching of writing. In 2018, our workshop focused on the National Writing Project's College, Career, and Community Writers Program. In 2019, we wrapped up the summer with Write Where You Are, at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, connecting writing to learning in the outdoors. |
Write Here! Write Now!
Our flagship one-day conference, Write Here! Write Now!, features a keynote speaker, followed by breakout sessions for K-12 educators of all content areas. Participants may also choose to take part in a Writing Marathon. Our 2020 conference will be held on June 11 at Kent State University, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Kristy Pytash, KSU associate professor in the School of Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Studies. 
Book Clubs
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. |
