State and Regional Networks Events
2010 Regional Inservice Institute
July 15–17, 2010
Austin, Texas
Host site: Heart of Texas Writing Project
This working retreat will bring together two-person teams from writing project sites and provide them with information, time, and resources for broadening and expanding their site's work in schools. Appropriate for all sites—whether you are rethinking already existing programs or conceiving new ones—this retreat will help you consider successful models and programs and extend your site's capacity for providing inservice work.
Goals are to support site teams to:
- network with NWP site leaders from across the region
- think about building capacity for inservice work at their site
- examine successful models of inservice and the theory behind their success
- develop a strategic plan to extend and broaden their site's inservice work.
Cost
NWP will cover the cost of the retreat, including lodging (all rooms double occupancy) and meals, once participants arrive. Local writing project sites will cover the cost of their team's travel to and from Austin, Texas, and one "dinner on your own" for each member.
