Resource in the Spotlight: National Writing Project

By National Writing Project

The National Writing Project (NWP) is a network of sites anchored at colleges and universities and serves teachers across disciplines, from early childhood through university. They provide professional development, develop resources, generate research, and act on knowledge to improve the teaching of writing.
