Welcome! We at NSU Writing Project offer teachers of writing opportunities to be writers themselves, exploring not only writing process, but also finding and developing personal voice. We encourage teachers to share their strategies with using writing as a tool for learning in all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, we support teachers in their efforts to research and write about their own practice.
School districts who want more information about either the 2012 Summer Institute or year-round professional development can contact NSUWP Director, Lisa Rougeou, rougeoul@nsula.edu. Individual teachers are encouraged to apply now for the Summer Institute by completing and submitting the application linked here at this site under the Summer Institute tab.
