The Pennsylvania Writing and Literature Project (PAWLP) is one of the oldest and largest sites of the National Writing Project a professional development network for teachers. Our model of "teachers teaching teachers" offers practical ideas for today's educators.
PAWLP offers a wide variety of three-credit and one-credit courses and in-service programs in teaching writing, teaching literature, writing/reading connections, authentic assessment, and special topics of current interest. These courses and in-service programs are offered at West Chester University and in sponsoring school districts and Intermediate Units throughout the Delaware Valley area.
Most of PAWLP's three-credit courses and the invitational summer Institutes apply to the Master's Degree in Writing, Teaching and Criticism offered by West Chester University.
