What is the Northwest Indiana Writing Project
(NWIWP)?
Founded in 1996, the Northwest
Indiana Writing Project is a site of the highly acclaimed National Writing
Project (NWP) that originated at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973.
The National Writing Project has successfully helped teachers, K-college,
improve their writing instruction. The NWIWP is a collaborative effort between
Purdue University Calumet, the Indiana Department of Education and public school
systems in the surrounding area.
The NWIWP seeks to improve the writing performance of
all students by fulfilling the following goals: to provide teachers with the
opportunity to improve their writing instruction, sense of professionalism, and
authority; to develop better University and School staff development programs;
and to encourage teachers to guide students in discovering their own authentic
voices; and to write themselves for personal and professional purposes.
Please feel free to browse our site and let us know
what we can improve. To contact us, you may reach us at
nwiwp@yahoo.com
Thanks!
