What our Teacher Consultants say:

“I went through the Great Bear Writing Project (which was then Central Arkansas Writing Project) Summer Institute in 2002, and my life has been forever changed. It was the most meaningful professional development I had ever experienced. I found in the GBWP a group of fellow teachers who shared the same desire to write that I possessed. I also found a group of friends that I am still in touch with to this day. They offer me support, advice, and a fresh perspective. The Summer Institute gave me the courage to do what I’d always wanted to do–WRITE! I also found the courage to have my students write, and what a difference it has made in my classroom! Yes, the SI will take some of your summer, and it is a commitment, but what a difference it will make in your life and in your teaching experience! I would do it all over again if I could!” — Pat Roberson, Business Teacher. Heber Springs High School (Jan 2015)
