The Midlands Writing Project provides teacher-directed in-service
programs in the teaching of writing and writing to learn to schools
and districts throughout our region. MWP Teacher Consultants work
in careful cooperation with school and district personnel to design
programs for teachers that address immediate concerns and contribute
to long-range plans.
Each session, directed by Teacher Consultants who are experienced
in the highly acclaimed National Writing Project model, includes
active demonstrations, participant involvement, and discussion of
classroom applications of research-based strategies for continuous
improvement of students' writing and writing to learn.
