2025 CSUWP Thinking & Writing Institute:
For the Love of Teaching and Learning "Make yourself useful by doing something hard with good people." - Kelly Corrigan Applications for this program have closed. We think Corrigan's advice is a great way to frame meaningful professional development, especially PD that's aimed at helping educators (re)discover their love for teaching and learning.
If such an opportunity sounds like a worthy use of your time, we encourage you to apply for this PAID opportunity to cultivate professional community, use writing as a tool for learning and reflection, design equity-centered curriculum, and discover the power of sustainable teaching to remind you why you chose the path of teaching. K-12 educators in any content area are eligible to apply for this hybrid institute, which book-ends on-campus retreats in July and December with intervening Zoom meetings in between. Participants will receive a $500 stipend, all books and materials, and the option to purchase 3 CSU graduate for less than $250 total. -- To quote a teacher who was recently involved in a CSUWP program, "This is affordable credit for valuable work." At the conclusion of the institute, they will also earn the official title of CSU Writing Project Fellow. |
