Using Embedded Institutes As Professional Development To Create A Culture Of Writing Excellence, Melanie K. Farber
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The following thesis addresses the problem of creating a culture of writing excellence at a large, urban school. I will show how the Embedded Institute model helped our school to reconsider our professional development model and to create writing leaders across the content areas. The thesis will make the argument for something larger than test scores through qualitative feedback from teacher participants.
