 The Central West Virginia Writing Project (CWVWP) is a site of the National Writing Project, the largest on-going staff development initiative for teachers. Faculty across the disciplines -- from kindergarten through the university level -- collaborate through various initiatives; the WV site follows the national 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.

CWVWP is dedicated to improving writing in grades K-16 through teachers teaching teachers. We believe in the Power of classroom-tested knowledge. Successful practicing teachers are designated as Teacher Consultants (TCs) after completing the Invitational Summer Institute (ISI). Supported by CWVWP, TCs provide classroom-tested professional development that is grounded in theory, practice, and published research.
