WISP for Schools

The Writers in School Program brings the talent of Alberta’s writers and storytellers to schools each year. To have your school participate in WISP, please review the following information to learn how to apply, how to choose a presenter and how the program works.

 

Schools will be notified of the result of their host application in early February and the date and time of the visit will be coordinated between the school and the WISP presenter. The school visit is to take place between March and May of 2010. At the time of the visit, WISP presenters will provide the school with an invoice for $200 and travel reimbursement of $.37 per km. The school will pay the WISP presenter then submit the invoice, reimbursement form and the WISP evaluation form to the CAA – Alberta Branch for reimbursement.

Schools located within 100 km of a WISP presenter will be considered for participation. Presenter location is indicated on the application form.

Please complete the WISP School Application Form and submit it to wisp@canauthorsalberta.ca. The deadline for the 2010 WISP School Application Form is January 29th, 2010.
