Workshops 2009-2010
One-day, weekend, and weeklong workshops are offered. Workshops scheduled concurrently allow teachers representing different disciplines from the same schools to attend in teams and attend different workshops. Once home they may build on their common workshop experience to design classroom strategies. Writing begins from scratch in the workshop—there is no pre-writing required prior to arriving at Bard, although participants are occasionally asked to read materials in advance of the workshop.
