After returning to school to finish my undergraduate degree in 1990, I taught middle and high school in Fort Wayne Community Schools and Canterbury School from 1991-1995.  I have had the privilege of teaching writing at IPFW for the past five years both as a graduate student and a full-time instructor. My background in the community schools impels me to work toward helping high school students make a connection with college, especially in the writing program. I am also a teacher consultant for the Indiana Writing Project and work on site with K-12 teachers to enhance teaching and assessment of writing in their classrooms.
 

APPLESEED WRITING PROJECT
As of February 1, 2003, IPFW will be the home of the Appleseed Writing Project. This project will bring area K-16 teachers together to learn more effective ways of teaching and assessing writing in their classrooms.  If you are interested in finding out more about the National Writing Project, visit at http://www.writingproject.org/ or contact me at freelank@ipfw.edu
