ASWC Membership Services

For the past 25 years, the Alaska State Writing Consortium has worked to provide our member districts and teachers with the best possible professional development opportunities such as the following:

• The Summer Invitational Institute where the most outstanding teachers in the state convene for an intense workshop and credit course focused upon helping teachers broaden and deepen their knowledge and skills through the study of writing theory and practice.
• Open Special Topics institutes for university credit designed to focus on one particular aspect of the writing process, writing using technology, writing assessment, or writing across the curriculum.
• Stipends and travel scholarships to attend both the summer invitational and open special topics institutes.
• In-services tailored to the needs of our member districts, presented by highly qualified National Writing Project-trained Alaskan educators.
• Networking and cross-state communication via online courses, discussion software, and conferences.
• Publishing online via the ASWC electronic magazine Northern Lit where students and teachers can submit fiction, non-fiction, and digital media to take their writing all the way to the final stage of the writing process:  publication.
