New dates and times for 2011-2012 to be arranged; look for details this summer!

Central California Writing Project Study Groups, FREE for Grades 4-12 Teachers.
When you sign-up, we will ask you to provide contact information, so we can send you information about the groups as they are formed.

Possible CCWP Content Literacy Study Groups:
Defining and Teaching Disciplinary Literacies
Writing and Reading in Social Studies and Science

CCWP values and honors teacher knowledge and expertise! We will each bring our own expertise and understanding of literacy instruction to share with our group.
 

 
CCWP values classroom inquiry, with a strong research base:
We will be reading and discussing current research on Disciplinary Literacies, with a lens on the following questions:
What does it mean to think and write like an historian? a scientist?
What resources can help us define our own essential content literacy skills?
Because ELA literacy strategies often do not “work” when reading and writing in other disciplines, how can we teach students to read and write about social studies and science texts?

CCWP will provide coffee, tea and snacks, research articles, and a journal (or you could bring one of your own, of course).
