National Programs and Initiatives
Professional Writing Retreats
The NWP Professional Writing Retreats support one of NWP’s founding principles: teachers of writing should write. The retreats highlight the value of teachers writing about their practice and create the time and support for this work. Writing from the retreats finds its way into
local, regional, and national publications, making visible the beliefs and practices of writing project teachers to a broad audience of teachers, administrators, legislators, and policymakers.
