Experienced teachers come together to demonstrate and examine their classroom practices, study the latest research about teaching, and develop their own teaching skills. As a result of these activities, teachers are better prepared for their own classrooms and for teaching other teachers.
This teachers-teaching-teachers model is the heart of the Project philosophy. |
Stipends are available through the National Writing Project to help defray costs.
Teachers who successfully complete an Institute are eligible to become paid teacher-consultants who coordinate courses, present in-service programs and teach in our summer Youth Programs.
A separate application form, endorsement from a PAWLP Fellow or school district administrator, and interview are required. Applications are considered on a rolling admission basis. For more information or an application please call the PAWLP office at 610-436-2202 or e-mail smalarney@wcupa.edu.
