Although a few scholar-teachers have told stories of their personal experiences of integrating LGBT content into classes, there has been no systematic, large-scale inquiry into the representation of LGBT topics, concerns, or issues in first-year writing classes. To gain insight into what kinds of exposure, if any, students in their first year of college have to LGBT issues and concerns, we are asking you to take 10 – 15 minutes to respond to the following survey:</p> <p><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=531123206826">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=531123206826</a></p> <p>In order to offer a quick and efficient a survey as possible, some questions may not appear for all participants depending on their answers to earlier questions about their professional responsibilities. Do not be alarmed as all submitted responses will be considered in the final data analysis.</p> <p>While we are sending invitations to participate to a number of listservs, please help us to get as complete a picture as possible by forwarding this message and link to other colleagues who may be interested in participating in this study.</p> <p>We thank you in advance for taking the time to help us with this important research project.</p> <p>Will, Martha, Sam, &amp; Jonathan</p></div></div>Teachers Teaching Teachershttp://www.google.com/notebook/feeds/04358793573726113227/notebooks/BDQOrSwoQuf37vaQi/NDQ6bSwoQkNb4wqQi2007-05-01T15:59:30.064Z2007-05-01T15:59:30.108Z<img src="http://english.ecu.edu/%7Ewpbanks/graphics/graduate.jpg" height="227" width="170">Teachers Teaching Teachershttp://www.google.com/notebook/feeds/04358793573726113227/notebooks/BDQOrSwoQuf37vaQi/NDQTaSwoQw_HnwaQi2007-05-01T15:19:57.891Z2007-05-01T15:20:39.490Z<img src="http://denverwritingproject.org/files/images/shiroff.jpg" height="203" width="245">Teachers Teaching Teachershttp://www.google.com/notebook/feeds/04358793573726113227/notebooks/BDQOrSwoQuf37vaQi/NDQeVSwoQ783jwaQi2007-05-01T15:18:47.791Z2007-05-01T15:19:09.532Z<img src="http://denverwritingproject.org/files/logo.gif" height="75" width="245">Teachers Teaching Teachershttp://www.google.com/notebook/feeds/04358793573726113227/notebooks/BDQOrSwoQuf37vaQi/NDQTCSwoQ1uL1vqQi2007-05-01T13:38:53.910Z2007-05-01T13:38:53.956Z<img src="http://ia301221.us.archive.org/1/items/JasonShiroffDigitalStory/daddyduty.gif?cnt=0" height="110" width="160">Teachers Teaching Teachershttp://www.google.com/notebook/feeds/04358793573726113227/notebooks/BDQOrSwoQuf37vaQi/NDQKPSwoQ_5SjvqQi2007-05-01T13:16:20.479Z2007-05-01T13:17:02.918Z <div> <div> <div> <div> <h1><a href="http://www.trwp.org/"><span>Tar River Writing Project</span></a></h1> </div> <ul><li><a href="http://www.trwp.org/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.trwp.org/leadership">Leadership Team</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.trwp.org/summer">Summer Institute</a></li> <li><a href="http://tinyurl.com/23uw32">SI Application</a></li> </ul> </div> <div> <div> <h2>NWP Connection</h2> <div> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.writingproject.org/">NWP Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.writingproject.org/evoice.csp">E-Voice</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.writingproject.org/cs/nwpp/print/nwp_docs/330">The Voice</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.writingproject.org/cs/nwpp/print/nwp_docs/322">The Quarterly</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.writingproject.org/Publications/books/">Books &amp; Monographs</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div><div><div><div> <div><a href="http://www.trwp.org/">Home</a></div> <h2>Welcome to the Tar River Writing Project</h2> <div> <span>Wed, 03/07/2007 - 04:30 — trwpadmin</span> <div> <p><img src="http://www.trwp.org/files/Image/Kixmiller.JPG" align="right" height="94" width="72">The Tar River Writing Project is part of a national network of sites located in universities around the United States. Each site conducts a <a href="http://www.trwp.org/summer">Summer Institute</a> and sponsors Professional Development Workshops during the school year. Sites also design programs that address local issues and the particular needs of schools, teachers, and students in their communities. <strong></strong></p> <h4><strong>Writing Project Makes a Difference!</strong></h4> <p> Recent independent research has found that, on average, 98 percent of participating teachers believe that NWP Summer Institutes are the best professional development experiences they have had. Likewise, an independent national scoring of student writing shows that student improvement in NWP teachers&#39; classrooms outpaced those of students in carefully constructed comparison programs. <strong></strong></p> <h4><strong>Who Should Apply?</strong></h4> <p> Any teacher, kindergarten to college, will find a rewarding experience at the TRWP Summer Institute! In fact, most effective institutes are those that have a diverse group of teachers from across the various subject areas. Do students write in your classes? Do you care about student writing and improving as a writing teacher? Do you want to develop even better writing assignments? Then you should apply to the TRWP Summer Invitational Institute!</p> </div> <div> <div> </div> </div> </div> <span></span> <div> <div> <h2>Copyright</h2> <div>Copyright © 2007 Tar River Writing Project<br>All Rights Reserved</div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div> <div> <div> <h2>Who&#39;s online</h2> <div>There are currently <em>0 users</em> and <em>0 guests</em> online.</div> </div> <div> <h2>Syndicate</h2> <div><a href="http://www.trwp.org/rss.xml"><img src="http://www.trwp.org/misc/feed.png" height="16" width="16"></a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Teachers Teaching Teachers
