| APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE FOR SLWP SUMMER INSTITUTE
HAMMOND -- The Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project (SLWP) at Southeastern Louisiana University is accepting applications for its12th annual Invitational Summer Institute for teachers of writing. The institute, which will meet from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday, June 16-July 17 is designed for teachers of all grade levels and subjects who use writing in their classrooms. During the institute, 15 selected teachers will be invited to study the teaching of writing and share their own best teaching practices. Participants will also be given the opportunity to write and develop workshops on teaching writing that can be used as in-service sessions at local schools. A special feature of this summer's institute will be a "writing marathon" in New Orleans. Participants become Summer Fellows at the university and receive free tuition from the National Writing Project, a $150 stipend, books and materials, and six hours of graduate credit. Applicants should submit a resume; a brief description of a writing activity used in their classroom; a letter of recommendation from a supervisor or from a member of the SLWP; and a page containing name, address, phone, e-mail, Social Security number, school and grade level where the applicant currently teaches. Applications will be considered until the institute is filled, and on-campus interviews will take place after each application is received. Applications can be addressed to SLWP Co-Director Richard Louth, SLU 10327, Hammond, LA 70402, or e-mailed to rlouth@selu.edu. For further information, e-mail Louth or telephone him at 985-549-2102 or 2100. Information is also available online at www.selu.edu/orgs/slwp. |
