The Georgia Southern Writing Project is an affiliate of the National Writing Project, a network of University - to - school programs focused on improving literacy at all levels of education, and the Georgia State Writing Project Network.

“Because literacy lies at the heart of school achievement and extends to every subject area, writing project sites reach whole schools.  Because we promote teacher-conducted professional development, and practitioner research, we develop leadership.  Because we provide summer institute experiences that are transforming, we understand change.”
