Overview

This series is designed to take practitioners through the process of establishing and producing a Program-Based, Learner Writing Publication. SABES will sponsor a Learner Writing Sharing Celebration in the Spring where each program who wishes to join in may bring copies of their journal to share with other programs and to hear a “few” writers read their work. 10 PDP’s are available for full attendance at all four sessions and successful completion of a course project. Please call Annemarie Espindola (508-678-2811 ext. 2782), prior to starting the series if you are interested in obtaining PDPs.
