“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.” Joe Check, Associate Professor Graduate College of Education, University of Massachusetts, and Director of the Boston Writing Project |
