Resources from the National Writing Project

Share your ideas for improved writing tools at the Write Tools Challenge
Assisted writing feedback tools can provide students with valuable feedback and suggestions that complement instruction and help students become better writers. These programs are promising but need improvement. The Write Tools Challenge gives you a chance to help design the next generation of these tools. The Write Tools Challenge wants to hear bold, innovative ideas from educators, particularly around how these tools could better serve low-income or minority students. Submit your ideas by July 15.
Join teachers and authors at The Write Time
NWP Radio, in partnership with the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield and Penguin Random House Books, has launched a special series called “The Write Time” where writing teachers from across the NWP network interview young adult and children’s authors about their books, their composing processes, and writers’ craft. In July, we’ll be hosting Laurie Halse Anderson, Torrey Maldonado, Adib Khorram and Erin Steward. For details about upcoming shows and an archive of previous interviews (not to mention a way to add to your summer reading lists), visit The Write Time series webpage.
