Thirteen K−12 and university teachers have been selected to participate in the Kennesaw
Mountain Writing Project (KMWP) Summer Institute to be held June 5−28 at Kennesaw
State University.
Since 1994‚ the KMWP has sponsored an annual institute for competitively selected
educators who would like to become “teachers of teachers” through the National Writing
Project’s ongoing professional development program. The summer fellows come from
every subject area and grade level; from suburban‚ rural‚ and urban settings; and
from schools serving an array of socioeconomic and ethnic populations. The main purpose
of the institute is to prepare talented educators to serve as teacher consultants‚
able to lead professional development initiatives in their home schools and districts.
KMWP fellows are interested in becoming better writers themselves. They see writing
as central to learning in all subject area(s)‚ and they are eager to become leaders
in education.
A list of the 2006 fellows and their school/university affiliations is attached below.
