Faculties across the disciplines -- from kindergarten through the university level -- collaborate through various initiatives. The WV site follows the NWP teachers-teaching-teachers model. The primary goal of this website is to offer information about the programs offered by CWVWP and to connect teachers with information to help improve their practice. There has been a writing project site supported by the graduate college in South Charleston (under different names) since 1978. Since 2002, Central West Virginia Writing Project has delivered professional development in teaching writing across the curriculum to hundreds of K-adult teachers through partnerships with county school districts. CWVWP is dedicated to improving writing in grades K-16 through partnerships with schools and county school districts. We believe in the power of classroom-tested knowledge. Successful practicing teachers are designated as Teacher Consultants (TCs) after completing the Invitational Summer Institute. Supported by CWVWP, TCs provide classroom-tested professional development that is grounded in theory, practice, and published research.  Clicking the Contribute button will take you to a page to make a secure, tax deductible contribution to CWVWP through the National Writing Project.
