| NWP-KSU brings together successful teachers to examine their practices and engage in classroom- based research. | ||
| Believing that writing is as fundamental to learning in | |
| science, mathematics, and history as it is to learning in English and language arts, NWP-KSU is open to teachers from all levels of instruction and all disciplines. | ||
| Believing that writing is best taught by teachers who are | |
| themselves writers, NWP-KSU engages its participants in the process of writing and in dialogue on the teaching of writing. |
