The Mission of the NWP and VIWP:
The mission of the National Writing Project is to improve writing and learning in
the nation’s schools. Through its professional development model,
the Virgin Islands Writing Project recognizes the primary importance of teacher knowledge, expertise
and leadership.
· The National Writing Project believes that access to high quality educational
experiences is a basic right of all learners and a cornerstone of equity. Through its
extensive network of teachers, the National Writing Project seeks to promote
exemplary instruction of writing in every classroom in the nation.
· The National Writing Project values diversity — our own as well as that of our
students, their families and their communities. We recognize that our lives and
practices are enriched when those with whom we interact represent diversities of
race, gender, class, ethnicity, and language.
Goals
· To improve student writing and learning in K-16 classrooms;
· To extend the uses of writing in all disciplines;
· To provide schools, colleges, and universities with an effective professional role of
successful classroom teachers.
. Most students can learn most things given enough time and effort.
