The major features of the Red Mountain Writing Project are:

• It is a teachers-teaching-teachers model.  If you come to a summer institute, you become a teacher consultant and may conduct writing workshops for teachers in the Birmingham area throughout the year.
  

• The four week invitational institute is open to kindergarten - university teachers in all subject areas.  It features writing and responding groups, teacher demonstrations, and reading/discussion of current research and pedagogy in writing.
  

• Up to 20 teachers are accepted each summer as fellows for the institute.  The selection process is based on a combination of nominations, applications, and interviews.  We welcome all Birmingham area teachers to apply.
  

• Continuity programs for fellows are held throughout the year.
