The National Writing Project-Kent State University began June 11 and will run through July 6 for K-12 teachers focused on writing and literacy.

NWP-KSU brings teachers together to share their expertise and effective practices that enhance student writing and learning.

Teachers work collaboratively with other educators to provide professional development, generate research and develop resources that sustain efforts to improve the teaching of writing and learning in schools.

NWP-KSU helps provide an ongoing link between Kent State and local schools. The initiative serves the counties of Ashtabula, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Tuscarawas.

More information about the National Writing Project-Kent State University can be found on the project website.
