Meeting Times:  Six Wednesdays throughout January, February, and March: January 25th, February 1st, February 8th, February 15th, March 1st, and March 8th from 4:00-5:30 pm on Zoom.  

Please note that we do not meet February 22nd   (President's Week). 

Sessions are 1.5 hours on Zoom and participants are expected to spend about an additional hour each week continuing on their own; this might consist of thinking and processing time, continuing activities we started together, or thinking about changes to their own curriculum. 

Facilitator: Sarah Ben-Zvi, RWP Teacher Consultant and English Department (First-Year Writing) faculty at Cal Poly Humboldt. 

Content:  This six-part series focuses on how all high school teachers can introduce key reading and writing concepts and skills to better prepare students for success in college-level courses. 

Stipend: $200 stipend is earned by attending all six sessions. 

Unit: Because this Institute meets for 15 hours total (including meeting time and independent work/thinking time), one unit of credit can be purchased from Cal Poly Humboldt's Office of Extended Education.
