Remote Literacy Learning Institute

Overview

As educators continue to integrate reading and writing into all forms of remote learning — and grapple with the emotional aspects of teaching under current conditions — the Chippewa River Writing Project is offering a two-week, 36-hour intensive professional development experience from June 15 to 26, 2020.

Through whole- and small-group Zoom sessions as well as innovative asynchronous activities that will model best practices in online literacy learning, we welcome 20 to 24 teachers to gain insights on best practices for remote learning. We will engage in daily, synchronous work from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM on weekdays, with additional opportunities scheduled at your convenience or in a fully asynchronous format.


  • Learn with colleagues through synchronous, Zoom-based teaching demonstrations.

  • Write both personally and professionally as we consider our responses to remote learning.

  • Collaborate with fellow teacher-writers in an online writing group.

  • Design a series of flexible lessons/unit plans that you can use during the 2020-21 school year.
