Abstract
The National Writing Project's (NWP's) mission is to improve writing and learning in the nation's schools. Through its professional development model, the NWP recognizes the primary importance of teacher knowledge, expertise, and leadership. In 2001, the project sponsored over 5,500 professional development programs through its local sites. In 2001, NWP sites asked 12,480 expert teachers to work with their teaching colleagues as well as with administrators, parents, community members, and students. With this 2001 Annual Report, the NWP celebrates 10 years of federal funding. The report is divided into the following sections: The National Writing Project Is Putting Writing on the Map; Investing in Teacher Leadership; Promoting University-School Collaboration; Creating Professional Communities; Map of NWP Sites; Building Capacity 2000-2001; Developing School Partnerships; Providing Resources for Teachers; Marking Our Progress; Communicating across the Network; Financial Data; and Board of Directors, Senior Staff.
