The Coastal Savannah Writing Project (CSWP) Summer Writing Institute is a 2-week, 3-credit professional development program for K-12 teachers held from June 17-28, 2013. The Institute provides teachers time and space to improve their own writing, learn new classroom strategies, examine writing theory and research, and collaborate with other educators.

Applications are due by May 1st and should include a personal statement describing teaching experiences, successful writing strategies, and goals for participating.

Job Club Network - Presentation-Coping With UnemploymentG4S
Losing one's job can be a major stressful life event that impacts one's financial security, identity, and emotional well-being. There are typical stages of coping with job loss that parallel Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's stages of grief: shock and denial, fear and panic, anger, bargaining, and depression. Eventually, there is a stage of temporary acceptance as one strategizes to regain control by treating their job search as a new full-time job through preparation, planning, networking, and marketing themselves. Staying actively engaged and connected to others can help speed up progress through the difficult coping stages.

Voices from the Middle article "Miles for Motivation"Lesley Roessing
The teacher implemented a "Froggie Miles" competition in her classroom to motivate students to complete assignments for non-grade rewards rather than just for grades. She divided students into teams and had them earn miles for their team based on completing assignments and activities. This increased student effort, engagement, and performance compared to just working for grades. Students took more academic risks and supported each other's learning because they saw it as helping their team rather than just themselves. The competition created a sense of community and excitement that engaged and challenged students more than the teacher grading assignments alone.
