Writing Project Offers Open Program for Teachers of Writing
The Northern California Writing Project at California State University, Chico is offering a one-week summer program, from July 28 through August 1, specifically designed for teaching writing to students who live in Northern California. All teachers of writing are invited to attend.
“Students in Northern California don’t fit the general mold often thought of when California’s schools are described,” said Peter Kittle, director NCWP. “We have predominantly white students, but not necessarily middle-class; students of color are not only Hispanic, but largely Asian, Indian and Native American. Because this professional development program will be led by teachers from our area, they can give examples of successful methods of teaching to the students who actually populate Northern California classrooms, rather than the kinds of students that textbook authors think we have.”
Teacher participants will receive books, articles and binders to support their work as they develop effective teaching practices. Teacher-consultants from the Northern California Writing Project will conduct all sessions. Two professional development units are available from CSU, Chico.
The complete news release is available online.

Employees can confirm the date of their last training by inquiring at vehicles@csuchico.edu. Reponses will typically be by return e-mail on the next business day.
Please have your California Driver License number and expiration date, and CSU, Chico employee/student ID number available at the time of the class.
