WMWP School Partnerships

School Partnerships

The best way to achieve lasting change in literacy instruction is to participate in our partnership program. Partnerships are long-term commitments toward school improvement. WMWP works closely with administration and teachers to design a program that best meets the needs of your district.

The goals of WMWP's school partnerships are to:

Improve literacy skills of all students in participating schools
Increase the use of writing as a tool for learning in all subject areas
Expand the knowledge-base for teaching literacy by providing continuous professional development on-site
Build the leadership capacity of teachers
Expand school literacy programs to include families and the community
Encourage the sharing of effective teacher practice through a network of schools and districts

Our work with schools may include the following:

Strategic Planning
Demonstration Lessons
Inservice Workshops
Study groups
After-school workshop series
Credit courses
Community and family writing programs
Reserved positions for district teachers in state Writing Project conferences and WMWP's Summer Invitational Institute
