Administrators: Become A Part of the REVWP
The Rural Eastern Virginia Writing Project Summer Institute is open to administrators at all levels from the school divisions in our region. In addition to gaining a broader perspective on the writing process and having access to excellent presenters from a variety of writing genres, adminstrators will also have the opportunity to prepare and present a Professional Workshop during the Summer Institute, which they will ultimately have the capacity to share with other professionals.
The Summer Institute is offered as a 3-credit Graduate Level course from The College of William & Mary at Rappahannock Community College, Warsaw, so administrators in need of recertification credits will earn graduate course credit for taking advantage of this excellent opportunity for professional development.
As members of your teaching staff attend the Summer Institute alongside the administrative staff, both teachers and administrators will gain a new appreciation for the insight and ingenuity it takes to make our schools work successfully. Teachers will also leave with a set of Professional Workshops that they can share with their peers in your school division, which is professional development that is free of cost.
It is worthwhile to consider the REVWP as personal professional development, and to invite your teachers who have attended the Summer Institute previously to share what they have learned and created with their peers.
