Workshop Description: Our 2026 POGIL Writers' Retreat provides dedicated time and space for individuals or small teams to focus on developing, writing, and improving POGIL activities under the mentorship of experienced POGIL author coaches. Our Writers' Retreat will allow you to join a like-minded and supportive community so you can share ideas, receive individual consultations, and help each other progress with the writing process on a journey to produce your best work.
The 4-day agenda includes workshop sessions focused on activity authoring and feedback, as well as ample time for writing and interacting with your fellow authors and coaches.
The retreat is appropriate for authors in all content areas at both post-secondary and K-12 levels.
