Custom-designed professional development

CWP follows research-based professional development models that show the most effective teacher learning occurs when workshops are directly connected to what teachers are doing in their classrooms and when they are part of sustained instruction, learning, interaction, and support.

Therefore, CWP does not do "one-shot" workshops.  What we will do is work with your school or district to design a series of workshops and professional development activities  about writing that are guaranteed to be hands-on, interactive, research-based, and structured to meet the specific needs of your school setting.

We can help you plan a year long professional development program (this could include a summer institute) that combines writing workshops and professional studies with mentoring and regular opportunities for teachers to observe each other, talk, plan, and reflect on their practice.

Fees for all services are negotiable. Please contact Karen Hartman (303-421-7121 or e-mail) for information about CWP involvement in your school's writing program.
