Summer Institute

Join us on the Sam Houston State campus during July for a workshop in teaching writing and reading. The Institute, open to all teachers in grades kindergarten through college/university, will carry six graduate credits, which you may count toward your Masters program or for professional development hours.

The Institute is sponsored by two SHSU programs: the Department of Language, Literacy, and Special Populations and the Department of English. The courses for the Institute are RDG 561-01 and ENG 539-05.

A stipend will be provided each teacher invited to participate. The first step is to submit an application (download here).
