College-Ready Writers Program Advanced Institute
3 days in Summer 2016:
July 19-21, 9am-3pm
4 days during the school year: TBD
The CRWP Advanced Institute is a 30-hour invitational program, which will begin with an orientation workshop in the spring of 2016, followed by a summer institute of three days and ending with three follow up days during the 2016-2017 school year. The CRWP Advanced Institute program will provide support and resources that enable teachers:
- to collaborate to focus on and document our on-going inquiry;
- to use common tools and resources;
- to discuss texts about source-based argument writing;
- to analyze our student writing throughout an extended period of time and have deep conversations about how to design and use formative assessments and tools to inform next steps in instruction;
- to have conversations about how the California CCSS and California ELD standards impact our instructional and curriculum choices, including meaningful, relevant texts;
- to determine how our pedagogical choices accelerate the analytical writing improvement of all of our students, including our language learners; and
- to build a strong cadre of teacher leaders who collaborate to design and lead professional learning in our region.
