Shoreline Writing
Institute
2009-2010
Instructors:
Megan Chamberlin & Katie Johnson
This 5-credit course has been created
through a partnership between the UW Puget Sound Writing
Project’s Teacher Leadership Institute and the Shoreline
School District. This is the fourth year that Shoreline School
District has supported an innovative PSWP institute. Instead
of a summer program, the course is imbedded within the school
year.
This course balances participants’ development as writers
with their growth as teachers of writing. Building a
collaborative community of writers is the best way to strike this
balance. And, the community of teachers is the primary source
of instruction: teachers teaching teachers. Another balance
we aim for in the class is writing as a process and writing to
create a finished product.
