NWP-KSU: ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Us
What We Do
Believing that teachers can empower other teachers, NWP-KSU brings together successful teachers to examine their practices and engage in classroom-based research.
Believing that writing is as fundamental to learning in science, mathematics, and history as it is to English and language arts, NWP-KSU is open to teachers from all levels of instruction and disciplines.
Believing that writing is best taught by teachers who are themselves writers, NWP-KSU engages its participants in the process of writing and in dialogue on the teaching of writing.
