We are within a few days of the start of the Ohio University Appalachian and OhioWins Writing Project Summer Institute. I am thrilled that all of you will be our first set of AWP Teaching Fellows. I hope that by the end of our four weeks together you will wear the title of Teaching Fellow proudly.
It is hard to believe that it has been thirteen years since I last directed a National Writing Project site at the University of Mississippi. I remember the joy of working with others like you to this day. I still have many teacher-friends from those years. We stay in touch. We talk to each other about teaching and writing. We share our writing. We support each other when life and professional circumstances get tough. I am full of hope for similar experiences for us as we embark on our journey together.
So here is to the courage to learn, teach, write, and grow together.

Maybe, I still am learning to blog. My first comment should have been here.

Hello,
I've made it to my first blog! I hope my slow dial-up internet won't cause too many problems. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again on Monday. I've done lots of reading and have lots of questions.
I'm here.
