Group Initiative


Check out the Group Initiative Planning Page!

Toward the end of the summer institute, we will begin exploring ways for us to continue our work together. We will select a group initiative that we will engage in throughout the fellowship year (and, possibly, beyond).

The group initiative must:
  • Create an opportunity for every 2012 fellow to be involved
  • Encourage writing in the schools
  • Assist teachers in teaching writing
  • Support the Common Core State Standards
  • Promote the Boise State Writing Project

After selecting our group initiative, we will divide into committees and create a plan of action.





Personal Initiative
Each fellow will also engage in a personal initiative. This is an opportunity to join a current BSWP initiative (Social Justice, New Teacher Mentoring, CCSS Leadership, etc.) or create a new project. It is key that you join or create an initiative that aligns with your beliefs and passions. What do you care most about in education? How do you want to create change?
