Review and Interview Process
Applications are reviewed by A3WP directors and Institute
co-leaders. In selecting applicants for interviews, reviewers
strive for a balance of Fellows who represent different grade
levels (kindergarten through college), subject-area disciplines,
and geographical regions. A minimum of three years of teaching
experience is preferred.
Interviews are scheduled in February on late afternoons and
Saturdays at UC Davis. Interviewees are requested to bring to the
interview samples of student writing connected with the strategy
or assignment described in Essay B.
Applicants will be notified in early March regarding
acceptance.
Fellowship Stipends and Academic Credit
Institute Fellows receive a $1,000 stipend, funded by the
National Writing Project, for participation in the orientation
weekend, coaching day, summer weeks and school year follow-up
events. There is no cost to teachers’ schools or districts.
Fellows may also purchase 9 quarter units of academic credit from
UC Davis Extension for approximately $300 during the first week
of the Institute.
