Their story, yours, mine-it’s what we all carry with us on this trip we take, and we owe it to each other to respect our stories and learn from them. –William Carlos William'
After 34 years the Oregon Writing Project, and now the Global Writing Project, leads the way in writing instruction. Our educators continue to break new ground in helping students learn in all subject areas and all grade levels. Writing transforms us: unites us with other cultures, demystifies the differences between us, and connects us to the world’s collective knowledge in new and exciting ways. The Global Writing Project works face-to-face and online in a 3D immersive environment with educators to innovate and share effective practices for preparing students for success in college, the workplace and life—globally.
Core Elements:
- GWP builds communities of teachers who share their innovations and expertise.
- GWP celebrates teachers as writers
- GWP supports teacher inquiry/practitioner research
- GWP builds strong global teacher-leaders
