Saturday Workshops at Towson University
For Teachers and Administrators

 

The Maryland Writing Project will once again host Write to Learn Saturday Workshops at Towson University. Workshops will be held on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon beginning in September in room 114 Hawkins Hall. Two presentations are given at each Workshop.

Please mark the dates on your calendar and get ready for interesting and stimulating presentations given by MWP Teacher Consultants. Workshops are free unless taken for MSDE credit and all presentations are applicable across all grade levels and content areas! 1 MSDE credit is available for a fee of $75 and attendance at 5 of the 6 sessions (September to March) .

There is no charge unless taken for MSDE credit, but registration is required for everyone. Handouts are provided and, in true MWP spirit, we certainly want to have enough food.
