The National Project
The Reading and Writing Project Affiliate Network
The Reading and Writing Project Affiliate Network provides staff development and other professional support in the teaching of reading and writing workshop to schools throughout the United States and the world. We currently provide direct and continuing support to several hundred schools beyond the New York metropolitan area. We offer many different kinds of support: in-classroom demonstration/coaching, on-site workshops, administration support, curriculum materials, and week-long on-site summer institutes.
Affiliate Network schools and districts are given resources, materials and tools that are tailor-made for them.
