Why Become a Partner with the NWIWP?

NWIWP has trained the best teachers in the Region to become Teacher/Consultants, capable of providing informative and exciting staff-development workshops in K-12 Language Arts. These programs cover recent trends as well as methods that research has proven effective for over the past quarter century.

One of the hallmarks of the NWIWP is its annual Summer Invitational Institute, an intensive four-week journey through the latest in writing pedagogy.  Open to teachers k-16 in all disciplines, the Summer Institute provides six graduate credits through Purdue University Calumet, three in English and three in Education.  Click here for more information about the Summer Institute.

Depending on your school’s or system’s needs, workshops range from a single 90 minute session to a 45 hour professional Workshop Series for which teachers may receive graduate credit.  See our Programs page for more detailed information on the types of in-service programs we offer.

Becoming a participating member comes with perks.  For $950 a year, up to three of your staff members, k-12, have their Summer Institute tuition and books covered for them.  Because the Summer Institute provides six graduate credits (three in English and three in Education), $950 is a wonderful value.

If you are interested in investing in our Summer Institute to allow your teachers to participate in this valuable experience, see our School Commitment Letter for more information.
