The pace is fast and furious at the NWP, so this weekend round-up will cover a lot of ground quickly.
First, welcome home to all of you who traveled to CCCC in St. Louis. Sounds like a great conference. Those (like me) who couldn't go this year can see some of the commentary through the Twitter stream at #CCCC12 and #4C12.
Now, for the NWP round-up...
...
Wow, a lot has happened in the couple of weeks since the last weekend update. So this update is devoted to a quick run-down on what's been happening...the details will be covered in separate, future communications.
First, the big news on SEED
...
Hi all,
We know you've been waiting on news about the Title II SEED grant, but we still have not heard from the Department of Education. Now that the waiver process is completed, we anticipate hearing about the Title II awards this week. The response to our proposal will tell us a lot about how the DOE views this Title II grant area.
Reading site reports
...
Well, it’s clearly report time in the NWP with your Site Reports due this past Friday and your Continuing Association Form due March 1.

Dear colleagues,
I’m pleased to be sending you the first weekend update of 2012 — and along with it New Year’s wishes for 2012.
Big news is ‘no news yet’
...
As all of us at NWP look forward to a relaxing holiday week, we wanted to take the time to send you all best wishes as well as one last year end "Weekend Update.”
Looking back
...
Dear all,
It has been awhile since the last weekend update, so it's about time I got back on schedule.
At the NWP office, we (like you) are busy with end-of-semester and end-of-year work, but we can still share some highlights.
Post-Annual Meeting
Colleagues,
Well, finding myself with an unexpected extra hour today, it seemed a good time for a Weekend Update. It has been quite a busy time at NWP, and I’m eager to tell you about it.
SEED grant application submitted!
