The following is a guest post by Rich Argys, a teacher-consultant of the Denver Writing Project.
The National Writing Project is the single most effective professional development organization I have encountered in 26 years as a public school teacher. I have participated in a variety of NWP activities and initiatives at both the national and local levels, and no other organization gets at the heart of what most matters in teaching youngsters as accurately as NWP. I remain involved (10 years now) because the organization enlightens and energizes my own practice. I believe NWP should be at the heart of our national effort to ensure that every student has access to a quality education and to great teaching.
