WHO WE ARE

The Middle Tennessee Writing Project (MTWP) is a professional development program for teachers, K-college and across disciplines, striving to improve writing instruction. MTWP is one of nearly 200 sites of the National Writing Project (NWP), and the second of three NWP sites in Tennessee. The Middle Tennessee Writing Project seeks to serve teachers in Maury, Williamson, Bedford, Rutherford, Cannon, and Wilson counties.



WHAT WE DO

The mission of the MTWP is to improve writing and learning in Middle Tennessee’s schools. The goal is to promote effective writing instruction through a teachers-teaching-teachers professional development model, which recognizes the importance of teacher knowledge, expertise, and leadership.


MTWP offers a variety of services, including a month-long invitational summer institute for educators, youth writer’s camps, an annual fall conference, and other professional development opportunities throughout the year. We hope you enjoy perusing the website, and should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
