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!
