Teacher Learning Leads to Student Results
National research studies confirm significant
gains in writing performance among students of teachers who have
participated in NWP programs.
By the Numbers
Across All Subjects and Grade Levels
Where teachers and schools choose to spend their professional development is a key indicator of program efficacy. Ongoing interest and participation by educators at all levels and across subject areas speaks to the quality of NWP programming.
Stories
Stories of Impact
Behind the numbers are educators, the young writers they work with, and the families and communities they serve.

Fiscal Responsibility
Efficiency at Scale
The National Writing Project’s longstanding network structure allows us to invest quickly and efficiently in programs and services that directly impact learning for youth and teachers.
“The kind of capacity evident in NWP takes a long time to build and requires ongoing stewardship to maintain. But it is also an essential resource, especially in this era of rising aspirations for teaching and learning all across our nation’s schools.”
