Professional Writing Retreat: Madison, Connecticut
A group of more than a dozen teachers affiliated with the Western Massachusetts Writing Project took part in a professional writing retreat on the coast of Connecticut, enjoying the ocean breezes and the long stretches of opportunity to write, reflect and respond to various pieces of writing about the teaching practice.
The topics under development ranged from examining personal beliefs about teaching, ways for administrators and teachers to share leadership opportunities, the ecology of a classroom and the impact on student motivation, and the use of technology to inform student writing skills.
Some participants at the retreat also recorded some thoughts as part of a podcast for this news site.
We hope YOU will take part in future writing retreats!
