National Community

NWP offers many types of communities that members can join. Some are private and others are open. You can always join any of the open communities, and if you join them, their content will show up in the stream page on your personal commons.

Open communities often have a particular focus, so whether you're interested in discussions of books and movies, resource sharing around the common core, or the education of English language learners, you can check them all out here.

At Eastern Michigan Writing Project, we have found Family Literacy workshops to be a consistent source of revenue for our site. 

As a way of helping other Writing Project sites, we are welcoming any interested writing project folks to attend this Institute where we will demonstrate what we do in our program. We will also work with Teacher Consultants to develop a Family Literacy program for your local site.

You can now pull in an RSS feed for National Community blogs and discussions. Just paste this blog feed and this discussion feed into a news reader to get the latest posts.
