Fall Showcase 2009

FALL SHOWCASE (Sat. Nov. 7, 8:30 am to 1 pm)
We have reserved the KIVA at SLU for our Fall Showcase, where we invite
area teachers to attend a day of workshops and roundtable presentations on
the Teaching of Writing led by SLWP Teacher Consultants. This is an
important opportunity for Teacher Consultants from the latest Summer
Institute to "show their stuff" and to help out the cause of promoting the
teaching of writing and SLWP. We are looking for volunteers for the
following:

o mini-workshops, based on your demos, on teaching writing (50 min. long),
o panels on various subjects (such as a panel for pre-service teachers, or
on any best practice)
o roundtables (leading discussion/writing, 20 min. each, with small
audiences on some aspect of teaching writing)
o help in other ways such as at the registration table, refreshments, etc.

We want as many TC's as possible to participate at the Showcase, so we hope
you will volunteer to help in one of these ways. Volunteers receive free
admission for a colleague, a certificate verifying their participation in
this 4 hour professional development event (usually accepted by parishes
for CLU's and Banking hours), as well our hearty thanks. This is also a
chance to meet, write, and work alongside SLWP Teacher Consultants from
other Institutes--particularly our newest members from 2009. To
participate, please email me ASAP, and I can give you specifics on what we
need and how you could help out most. <rlouth@southeastern.edu>
