SUNY Cortland's Seven Valleys Writing Project (SVWP) will offer a half-day workshop, "Writing to Learn in the Social Studies Classroom," on Saturday, April 17, at Homer High School in Homer, N.Y.
The SVWP is part of the National Writing Project based at SUNY Cortland, a grassroots organization of teachers who are learning and teaching the craft of writing to their students and to each other. Seminars are offered in collaboration with the Cortland County Teacher Center.
"We've seen the transformative power of 'writing to learn' in our own classrooms and we can't wait to share our best practices with you," observes SVWP co-director David Franke, an associate professor of English at SUNY Cortland.
Franke will facilitate the workshop with SVWP co-director Brian Fay, an English teacher for Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Counties Board of Cooperative Educational Services (OCM-BOCES).
The teacher consultants who will present are Joe Cortese, a teacher at Homer High School; and Kathryn Cenera, a middle school teacher from Ithaca City School District.
The seminar, from 8:30 a.m.-noon in the school library Media Learning Center on the second floor, is geared for social studies teachers in grades 7-12.
The $25 fee includes a light breakfast and coffee. To register, contact one of the following individuals: Franke at david.franke@cortland.edu or (607) 753-5945; Fay at brian.fay@7VWP.com or (315) 440-1289; or Joe Cortese at jcortese@homercentral.org or (607) 423-1092.
