OUR WRITING GROUP #1...
Last week I hosted a gathering of our “retired” Minnesota Writing Project teachers. We organized our group a couple of years ago, and we try to meet bi-monthly to share our writing. We have found the group to be especially rewarding, and I couldn’t agree more with a recent post from NWP. Here is part of that post:

"NWP teacher-leaders say it all the time—discovering the NWP was a defining moment in their professional lives.
It opened doors to new ways of thinking and teaching. It gave them the professional home they deeply desired and provided them with a platform to extend their leadership beyond the classroom door.
Perhaps that's why the NWP Legacy Study showed that over 90% continued to work in education throughout their careers.
In a time when so much in our country and our world feels unpredictable, the Writing Project remains committed to the values and beliefs we have held dear for 45 years.

- Writing is an essential skill in our digital age, central to communication, learning, and citizenship.
- Teachers’ knowledge can be put to work to improve the teaching of writing.
- Teacher leadership makes it happen.
