Welcome to The Mohawk Valley Writing Project
About MVWP
The National Writing Project is a federally funded professional development program for teachers. The Mohawk Valley Writing Project, an affiliate of NWP, is open to K-12 teachers from all subjects. Under its auspices, teachers gather for a five-week invitational Summer Institute where they share best practices and discuss and develop their writing, teaching, and research interests. The Writing Project seeks to inspire practicing teachers and develop a local network in which their insights, practices, and wisdom can be shared through inservice projects. Writing Project Teacher Consultants become leaders in their regions, helping to build vital and productive literacy communities in their schools.
Our Work
The work of Writing Project teacher consultants has improved the quality of literacy and literacy instruction in communities across the nation, as shown in satisfaction surveys and test scores. To learn more about the specific outcomes of Writing Project work, go to the National Writing Project website, http://www.nwp.org.
