Kia ora ( as we say here in New Zealand) or Hi Everyone,
My name is Ronnie and I am really excited to be joining this writing project, virtually at least for the first part, and then in person in July!

I work at the University of Canterbury College of Education in Christchurch New Zealand, where I am a teacher educator working mainly with secondary ( high school) English teachers, enrolled in a post graduate one year diploma course to train to be teachers of English at high school.

I first had the pleasure of working with Ruie when she was in NZ as a Fullbright scholar in the 1980s and it would be true to say that the National Writing Project she ran here for us had a profound impact on the practice of very many teachers in NZ schools!

More soon!
Ronnie

This is the blog where we will keep a record of our Summer Institute. Perceptions, stories, observations and reflections - each of us will have a chance to make an 'entry for the day.'
