Northwest Arkansas Writing Project
Part of the international program begun at Berkeley in 1974, the Northwest Arkansas Writing Project teachers joined more than 140,000 educators from around the world at 163 National Writing Project sites, joining rank with some 1.3 million others involved with the program to date. The "hands-on minds-on" programs involve teachers in creative workshops and institutes that give them new ideas to bring spark and creativity to their classroom writing curricula. The institutes also enable teachers to develop professional and personal relationships with their peers and create a community of dedicated individuals striving to teach Arkansas children excellent writing skills. Kidswrite, a writing "boot camp" for local kids was developed in 1999, gathering more than 50 Arkansas youngsters to practice writing across the curriculum for fun.
