The Louisiana
State University Writing Project, established in 1985, is a
collaborative university-school partnership dedicated to improving
the quality of student writing in the schools. It does so
through its approach of "teachers teaching teachers," which means
identifying successful teachers of writing, bringing these teachers
together in an invitational Summer Writing Institutes, and preparing
them to lead workshops for other teachers. Participants join a
network of teacher-consultants who actively provide ongoing
professional development for schools and districts. Other
programs of this 300 member network include youth writing
activities, quarterly meetings, and an annual convocation.
The LSU Writing Project is one of 195 sites in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands that comprise the National Writing Project. It is centered in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction of the College of Education of LSU, from which it serves ten parishes in southern Louisiana. |
