This workshop supports site leaders’ and teacher-consultants’ efforts to make their writing project site more accessible to a diverse group of teachers. Workshop participants will explore how race, culture, gender, language, and class can affect teachers’ access to their local sites and will experience a variety of activities that support a site’s inquiry into its issues of access. All of the activities in this workshop can be transported to a site’s summer institute, inservice or continuity programs, or work with leadership teams.
