- A Work in Progress: The Benefits of Early Recruitment for the Summer Institute. National Writing Project at Work Series. Hall, Ann-Marie Shanley, Roger Simon, Flory Teacher Collaboration Faculty Development Recruitment Summer Programs Writing Workshops Seminars Teacher Participation Enrollment Management Interviews Publications Letters (Correspondence) Writing Skills Site leaders at the Southern Arizona Writing Project needed to increase their pool of summer institute applicants, so they created a plan to recruit early. They invited interested teachers, principals, and district administrators to attend their "Slice of SAWP" on the last day of the summer institute. The site sent out acceptance letters in December but continued the enrollment process with interviews in January and with "Saturday Seminars," designed to support new fellows in preparing their demonstrations and introduce them to the writing project culture. The result: not only did the site achieve its goals, the participants were better prepared. The following are appended: (1) Summer Institute Brochure; (2) Information and Nomination Letters; (3) SAWP Invitational Summer Institute Applicants Chart; (4) Sample Interview Letter; (5) The Interview Evening; (6) Sample Acceptance Letter; (7) Sample Waiting-List Letter; (8) Sample Rejection Letter; (9) Brainstorming Tips; and (10) Southern Arizona Writing Project's Professional Library, 2004. (Contains 3 figures and 3 notes.)
