The WNYWP is a well-established site of the National Writing Project – a nationwide education program that works to improve student writing and thinking. Our goal is to improve the teaching of writing in our area schools. The WNYWP is part of an expanding national network of more than 195 Writing Project sites across the United States. Every year more than 300,000 teachers across the country participate in National Writing Project programs. Teachers come together in the summer, on weekends, and at the end of the school day to learn from other successful teachers how to improve their own teaching of writing.
Goals of the NWP
- Improve student writing and learning
- Extend the uses of writing in all disciplines
- Provide schools, colleges and universities with an effective professional development model
-
Identify, celebrate, and enhance the professional role of successful classroom teachers
