This site celebrates the rich, 40+-year history of the National Writing Project through information about the NWP Archives Project and a collection of stories from our educators around the country. It's not only a look back, but a look forward to innovation and possibilities in writing and education. In this video blog, Janelle Bence of the North Star of Texas Writing Project wishes a happy birthday to the National Writing Project and shares how NWP’s responsive approach to professional development has helped nurture her professionally, in turn helping her to meet the changing needs of her students.
Above all, what NWP has taught me is that educators and education should be in constant flux, because it should be responsive to learners’ needs.
Janelle
