"The Effective Urban Educator:
Reflective, innovative and committed to diversity."
The Wayne State Writing Project is a collaborative group of teachers working together to improve writing in all grade levels (K-12) and subject areas. As part of the National Writing Project, WSWP works to build the leadership, programs, and research needed for teachers to help their students become successful writers and learners.
The mainstay of our approach has three central tenets:
- Teachers teach others about their most effective writing practices
- Teachers study research on writing and the teaching of writing
- Teachers improve their knowledge of writing by writing themselves
Through summer and school-year programs, WSWP teachers continually deepen their understanding of promising practices in the teaching of writing. Through the leadership of Teacher-Consultants, the WSWP offers a variety of programs including teacher writing and study groups, workshops, curriculum consulting, student writing camps and informational teacher networking activities.

The Wayne State Writing Project is a local initiative of the National Writing Project.
