T.C. Opportunities: Stay Involved with the NNWP
So...you've successfully made it through a Summer Invitational Institute and you want to stay involved with our program. Glad to hear it! Each Writing Project around the country is urged to sponsor "continuity" projects for its Institute graduates, and we at the NNWP take that very seriously.
continuity: (noun) opportunities specifically designed for TCs who have been through our Summer Institute and who want to stay involved in their local Writing Project.
On this page you will find quick information and access to continuity opportunities we hope you'll inquire about.
Our Continuity Programs:
|
The Advanced Summer Institute
 Corbett Harrison coordinates our Advanced Summer Institute, which is a one- or two-credit workshop that happens every summer. A small group of NNWP TCs gather to create new resources and themes that can be featured at the WritingFix website.
In Summer of 2008, the Advanced Summer Institute focused on publishing new information on the steps of the writing process.
For Summer 2009, the Advanced Summer Institute will be focusing on publishing new information on the different genres of writing.
Contact Corbett for information about the Advanced Summer Institute. |
The Summer Institute Mentor Program
 Dr. Sandy Madura coordinates our Summer Institute Mentor Program, which is a marvelous opportunity for four or five TCs every summer.
These TCs take part in the Summer Institute in a very different way than they did their first time through: they assist new fellows in creating new demonstration lessons.
Mentors earn a credit for the preparation work they do to serve as mentors.
Mentors also earn a stipend for the time they spend attending the Summer Institute.
Contact Sandy for information on becoming a mentor in next year's Summer Institute. |

The Inservice Scholarship Program for TCs
 Most of the Fall and Spring Inservice classes we offer require a $25.00 registration fee from all participants.
If a TC enrolls in any of our NNWP-sponsored inservice classes and completes the course, you will have your $25.00 registration fee reimbursed at the end of the course.
Contact Judy at our UNR offices if you have enrolled in one of our classes, and she will send any paperwork process to begin the reimbursement process. |
The Annual Reunion Dinner
 Do you have a colleague at your school who hasn't been through the Summer Institute but really should?
Each January or February, we sponsor a Reunion Dinner. TCs from past Summer Institutes are invited to attend with prospective applicants for the upcoming Summer Institute. Great food, drinks, and gifts for those who attend!
Contact NNWP's Director, Kim Cuevas, for details on upcoming reunion dinners. |

|
The Writers Group Community
 If you enjoyed the act of becoming a writer during your Summer Institute, this community was designed for you.
Launie Garnder coordinates our Writers Group, which meets once a month to read and respond to writing that is being done by our TCs. All types of writing are shared.
TCs who participate can earn up to two credits annually for the time they attend.
Contact Launie for information about this long-running community. |
Presenting at/Attending NWP Conferences
TCs Rob Stone, Sparrow Malvino and Torrey Palmer attended the 2008 NCTE/NWP Conference with NNWP leaders Carol Gebhardt and Sandy Madura. Here they stand in front of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. |
