This yearlong institute from UW-Madison’s Greater Madison Writing Project will ground participants in practice and pedagogy that centers humanity in writing instruction. Teaching in an ever-evolving landscape presents challenges and opportunities; together we will take time to pause, listen, and learn while also reconnecting with our own practice as writers and our values as educators.
Whether your concern is navigating a challenging landscape of information literacy, or creating critical, creative, and knowledgeable readers and writers, this experience will bring together a community of reflective practitioners dedicated to navigating these ever-evolving challenges while maintaining focus on developing the human-writers in our classrooms.
Our institute will begin with participation in the Teaching Writing in the Age of ChatGPT Summer Symposium and a one-day institute meeting for reflection and planning. This year long institute allows educators to dig deeply into their own practice, engage with a question throughout the year, and “go public with their practice” by sharing their work within the learning community and on the Greater Madison Writing Project Medium Blog.

- Connecting to self and others through personal and professional writing
