Thank you for considering a gift to the Western Massachusetts Writing Project.  Gifts are essential in enabling us to continue to provide valuable professional development opportunities to pre-K through college teachers throughout Western Massachusetts.  By participating in our programs, teachers become members of a thriving professional community of literacy educators, develop curricula and teaching approaches to meet the needs of diverse learners in the 21st century, and become leaders in their schools.
