We’re excited to announce that our Interest List for the Fall ’24 and Spring ’25 Writing Institute is live! Are you a teacher who is ready to engage in a high-quality, intensive professional development on the teaching of writing? Do you know a teacher who would be perfect for the Writing Institute? Click “Join the Interest List” below and become a part of our Interest List and be alerted when it’s time to sign-up for the institute.

The Writing Institute is open to all teachers of writing! This includes elementary, secondary, and post-secondary educators of all subjects. If you teach students to write — the Writing Institute is for you!

SNWP invites all teachers of writing, no matter the age group or subject you teach, to join us this Fall Semester for the Writing Institute. The Institute is offered through UNLV’s College of Education as CIL-617. This is a three-credit graduate credit course.

If you are already a graduate student at UNLV or non-degree seeking graduate student, all you have to do is register for CIL 617!

If not, you need to complete these three steps:

1. Apply as a non-degree seeking graduate student at UNLV. 
   • Click here for more information about that process.
   • Click here for the application link. 
2. Complete the residency application for in-state tuition. 
3. Register and pay for CIL 617 using MyUNLV portal.

Steps one and two should be completed ASAP, while step three can only be completed once those first steps are completed. It’s okay to complete step three in August.

Please reach out to Dr. Sophie Ladd at sophie.ladd@unlv.edu or Ben Koch benjamin.koch@unlv.edu for more information.
