Virtually full-hearted: Writing projects
Title
Virtually full-hearted: Writing projects
Description
It was March 2020. Our cities and towns locked down; our elementary, middle, and high schools boarded up. Our universities too. And we learned they wouldn’t be opening any time soon.
As directors of California Writing Project sites at Fresno
State, CSU Northridge, and UCLA, we had a decision to make: Offer our flagship Invitational Summer Institute (ISI)–the four-week workshop that offers fellowships to talented teachers of writing, extending to them a platform for sharing prized lessons with kindred spirits, and a protected “sacred writing time” to develop their own writer’s voices—virtually? Or . . . not offer anything at all.
Unthinkable, the latter, we decided.
