To OWP Teacher Consultants--

Please read opportunities from National Writing
Project.  Some of you have mentioned wanting to write
grants for ELL, Teacher Research, Rural Sites, Urban
Sites, etc.  This is your opportunity.  Please let
Priscilla and me know your plans.

NWP is also hosting some fine conferences some of you
may want to attend.  OWP has money in the budget for
someone to attend these conferences.  (ELL already
claimed)

Also, those of you attending the NWP meeting in
Nashville, note the new deadline for enrolling in
workshops.  This is the first year we've had to enroll
for Friday workshops.  If you haven't registered yet,
do so soon!
