GP Institute Postponed
The TRWP is sorry to announce that the Graduation Project Institute that had been scheduled for May 1 & 2, 2009, has been postponed until further notice due to recent budgetary constraints in North Carolina. We regret that we had to cancel the event, but look forward to putting on a bigger and better conference in the near future. Please stay tuned for updates about future offerings.
The Tar River Writing Project announces a professional development institute on Graduation Projects.
This institute is open to teachers, administrators, curriculum leaders, NC Graduation Project coordinators, and university faculty throughout North Carolina.
