There's No Money in Writing

The Administration's requested budget for FY 2011 recommends consolidating funding for National Writing Project with that of five other organizations, which would mean no more direct funding for the NWP.
NWP is a nationwide network of educators working together to improve the teaching of writing in our schools. Writing is a complex and challenging skill and these sites empower teachers through shared best-practices and collaborative research. My experiences with the Greater New Orleans Writing Project transformed the way I teach writing and opened many professional doors for me. The San Antonio Writing Project adopted me and allowed me to continue to be a teacher-consultant, sharing with and learning from local educators. Our students receive engaging, effective lessons that not only improve their skills, but promote a love of writing.
