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 Middle Tennessee.


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 two week invitational summer institute for educators, youth writer’s camps, an annual fall conference, and other professional development opportunities throughout the year. MTWP can also partner with your school or district to provide sustained inservice programs.
