Site-Based Professional Development for Teachers

Teachers Teaching Teachers

Are you a district administrator, school administrator, instructional coach, department chair, or teacher looking to learn from teacher leaders who are prepared to draw on research and practice to customize a professional development presentation at your site? CUWP has over 200 fellows with experience teaching across grade levels and content areas who have experience developing and delivering presentations for teachers on topics related to areas of their own academic and classroom-based research. 

We look forward to working with you to customize a professional development experience for your department, school, district, conference, or other site. Please contact us at cuwp@byu.edu to inquire about possible topics, teacher presenters, scheduling, and pricing. Some guidelines for the kinds of PD we can offer are listed below, though we are happy to tailor our presentations to your particular needs or interests.

Custom Workshop & Presentation Topics

CUWP Fellows have conducted research and prepared professional presentations on a wide range of topics related to teaching, literacy,  creativity, inquiry-based learning, and, of course, writing!

Please consider the following as the beginning of a list of topics our Fellows could develop presentations or workshops on. This list is by no means comprehensive, but is a starting point.

  • Digital and Multimodal Writing
  • Grammar Instruction that Sticks
  • Inquiry-based Writing Strategies
  • Sentence Combining
  • Real-world Writing
  • Revision in the Writing Process
  • Writer’s Notebooks

Please reach out if there’s a topic you’d like your teachers to learn more about. We will be sure to identify one of the 200+ teacher leaders in our CUWP community who will be well-suited to develop and present a workshop or session to address the writing, literacy, and/or learning needs you have identified are important for your school.

Compensation for Fellows

In keeping with the National Writing Project’s commitment to recognize and compensate teachers for their leadership and professionalism, we ask schools and districts to begin with the following pay bands to hire CUWP Fellows to develop and deliver customized, engaging professional development presentations and interactive workshops. 

  • One hour session – starting at $150
  • Two hour session – starting at $250
  • Half day/three hour session – starting at $350
  • Full day session – contact us for a negotiated price
  • Consulting, short- or long-term – contact us for a negotiated price

For multiple presenters (for example, two Fellows who co-present a session or for a handful of Fellows who lead a half-day or full-day session or retreat), please inquire about budget. Pay will be coordinated directly through CUWP, who will ensure teachers receive compensation.
