The National Writing Project (NWP) is a network of educators dedicated to improving writing instruction in schools across the United States. Founded in 1974, it focuses on professional development for teachers, helping them enhance their own writing skills and teaching methods. The NWP emphasizes the importance of writing across all subjects and grade levels. Through workshops, conferences, and collaborative projects, the NWP connects teachers with resources and best practices. It encourages a community of practice where educators can share experiences and strategies. The initiative aims to foster a culture of writing in schools, benefiting both teachers and students alike.
