A note to OWP TCs:
TIME TO BEGIN SITE PROFILE DATA ENTRY 末
The note below explains one of the aspects of my job
as co-director of inservice. If you presented as part
of one of OWP's conferences, I know about how many
participants were in your workshops. BUT if you
presented at a school district workshop and I wasn't
there, I don't know how many participants you had
unless you told me. Also, some of you may have
presented places I'm not aware of, so I'd like to know
about any staff development workshops or student
writing workshops you've held so that I can include
them in our OWP continued funding grant.
Keeping track of all these numbers is a mind-boggling
task for me, so I appreciate your individual reports
back to me.
Also, please check out the site opportunities below.
Some are very exciting. Let me know if you're
interested in applying for any of them.
NWP is a place that offers you opportunities to step
beyond your own classroom. Please see what looks
interesting to you!
And good luck with your new school year. Hope your
students are the best ever.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRESS RELEASE SENT TO REPORTERS
NATIONWIDE 末
On August 10, NWP sent a press release to education
reporters
highlighting the fact that summer institute
participants are now returning to
their classrooms, rejuvenated and ready to help
students improve their
writing. As a result of this press release, sites may
get calls from
reporters. Sites interested in raising their
visibility should feel free to
use the press release as a model for their own public
relations
efforts.
