As a state-sponsored network of National Writing Project sites, we provide opportunities for teacher learning and leadership that will improve the teaching of writing. This site connects the eight Kentucky sites with one another and helps us reach out to educators interested in our work.

The Carnegie Center has received funding to offer a third annual Kentucky Literature Teacher Academy, July 9 and 10. Teachers may receive PD credit or a stipend for the two days, as well as books for their classrooms. The line-up of writers is completed and includes Poet Laureate Gurney Norman, Frank X Walker, George Ella Lyon, and Lisa Williams. The program is different each year, so teachers may participate more than once.

Please feel free to forward to friends and colleagues who are middle and high school teachers!

Contact Jan Isenhour, Executive Director, Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning, for more information.

If youre a KY Writing Project Teacher Leader, come join BGWP Fellows as they write, reflect on the practices currently in their classrooms, think about writing after portfolio assessment, and begin to plan for change. Some possible topics for reflection:

How will I sustain writing in my classroom?
Will my classroom writing change without portfolio assessment? How?
What will my classroom writing assessment look like?
How will I defend the way I teach writing?

Kentucky Writing Project Fellows and Teacher Consultants are invited to apply for scholarships to attend the KySTE Conference at North Bullitt High School in Shepherdsville, KY, on June 17-19. The scholarship will cover lodging, mileage, and a small stipend.

In return, you would participate in the "Vision Work" for the Kentucky Writing Project Network in a follow-up retreat on June 20. This group will develop a proposal for the mission and content of our state website, present at our fall conference in Louisville, and share ideas gleaned with the KWP directors, September 11-12.

To apply, please click on this link.

Please share this information at your school!

Literacy leaders will help teams prepare for the newly mandated writing plan which replaces state assessment of student portfolios. Does your school know what to do? Do you have a literacy team in place or will one need to be recruited? Do you know how to create a research-based plan, using your school data to make sure all students will become literate learners?

First come, first served. Please register by June 1 to assure you will have a spot for your team.
