Our next Write to Learn Saturday is coming up on January 16, 2010 at the Transitional Office Building, 9 am to noon. (See the 2009-2010 program: Word doc || pdf )

SAWP Writing Community: On second Saturday mornings, the SAWP Writing Community will serve as a block of time and space for teachers to start, continue, and/or finish individual or collaborative projects. The Writing Community provides space for writing for professional, research, or personal purposes; focused professional or personal reading with no interruptions; investigating a new teaching idea and developing a plan of implementation; collaboration among SAWP fellows and revising or re-working your teaching demo. Stay tuned for the 2010 schedule.

Download the Summer 2009 issue of Composed (PDF, 4.7 mb), the newsletter of the Southern Arizona Writing Project. The Winter 2009 newsletter was the first under the new name, Composed. Check the call for submissions for the next issue! We're thinking about Reconnection. Deadline: September 15, 2009.
