Welcome to Oklahoma State University Writing Project
The Oklahoma State University Writing Project is committed to improving the teaching and learning of multiple literacies in Oklahoma's classrooms. As pre-k through university educators, we offer our colleagues a long-term professional development community. Our goal is to nurture reflective practitioners and teacher leaders grounded in inquiry and research-based practice. Effective teachers are the best instruments of social equity and positive educational change.

The Institute
The OSU Writing Project Summer Institute is designed for experienced teachers from all disciplines and at all levels of instruction, kindergarten through university. Participating teachers will have opportunities to demonstrate their own best practices and classroom successes; study writing theory and research; experience the writing process by writing themselves, as well as sharing their writing in small groups; and prepare to faciliate other teachers in effective uses of writing in all classrooms.
The Summer Institute will meet Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., June 11-June 29 at OSU-Tulsa. Participants also should plan to spend time outside of daily sessions reading, writing, & preparing.
