Bard Workshops

The Bard Annandale series of workshops create opportunities for teachers of all subjects to experience learning through writing across all academic fields, benefiting from the supportive dialogue they find with colleagues.
Most of our workshops are in-person, but our New Kinds of Attention series is online!

What our attendees say

“I have attended many Bard workshops these past two decades, and I leave each one full, having digested a variety of options, and reminded of how much can be accomplished when unburdened by the need to do it all.”
