Aside from ten different schools in Boston, teachers came from schools in Quincy, Medford, Westwood, Newtonville and Northborough. These teachers spent four days a week for four weeks writing and responding to each others writing as well as participating in activities and workshop presentations from teachers and consultants from previous summer institutes.

The energy in July was intense: draining but enervating at the same time. Teachers left feeling exhausted, but were eager to try out new ideas in their classrooms.
For the school year they have agreed to meet again three times to do some more writing, and share what has been happening in their classrooms.

The next meeting date is Saturday, November 14th.
