Recruiting local Program Directors for Middle School Creative Writing Program

[mntrs100]

Inkling Lit Academy is looking for enthusiastic middle school English teachers currently teaching at an International School here in Korea. Inkling Lit Academy* is a creative writing program for high-achieving 7th and 8th graders. Recently created by The Adroit Journal and IvyZen, Inkling is looking for local Program Directors to act as both ambassadors and mentors to help develop the program - first in Korea and then all over Asia. If interested, please contact Mark Lee at mark.mntrs0726@gmail.com.

* A beacon for young and emerging writers since 2010, The Adroit Journal has nurtured highschool writers from all over the world through its acclaimed Mentorship Program. Recognizing that international students would benefit from exposure to creative writing and literature earlier, The Adroit Journal, in partnership with IvyZen, has created the Inkling Lit Academy for international middle schoolers to provide promising international students in the formative middle school years with a strong underpinning of creative writing skills, and a basis in literary reading. As well as position students for consideration and entry into top-tier writing programs.

Are you a middle school English teacher at an International School in Korea with a passion for nurturing young writers?

This sounds like a really cool opportunity for anyone teaching middle school English at an international school in Korea. I’ve been teaching here for a couple of years now, and programs like this are rare, especially ones focused on creative writing. If you’re into mentoring and helping kids develop their writing skills, it could be a great fit. Expanding into something that might grow across Asia also sounds like it could be a rewarding challenge. Definitely worth looking into if it feels like your kind of thing!
