Our coaches
Posted By jjustice on July 12, 2009
The coaches were so very helpful as we prepared our demos. They offered great advise and were supportive of our ideas. Thanks for all of your assistance.
Take some time to reflect

Remember to complete the Inverness Research Survey on-line. You can access this survey at www.inverness-research.org/NWP-SI-surveys.html.
I’ll be sending each of you some feedback very soon, but for now, I’d like for you to reflect on the coaching that the leadership team provided as you prepared for your demos. To prepare for our next leadership meeting, I hope that you will let me know if you have suggestions for us! How could we have been of more assistance to you as you prepared your demo?

Great Job Karl!
Rebecca Harper
Posted By mbrooks on June 23, 2009
Rebecca Harper brought energy and passion into the classroom today with her love for picture books, clarity on point of view ideas, fairytale newspapers and letter writing, transitions from poetry to prose, along with a name unit that could mean a great deal to any age. She was refreshing and certainly complimented our hard work and free flowing ideas! Wonderful class!

- NWP Site Bulletin – REACH OUT AND WRITE!
Please take a moment this summer to write or email your legislators. Let them know you appreciate their support for the writing project. Tell them something you did in your classroom this year or plan to do next year. Give them a glimpse of your summer institute or another writing project opportunity that is making a difference to your teaching. Be brief. One or two short paragraphs from an educator like you will assure members of Congress that their commitment to the NWP has a specific and lasting impact. Let your voice be heard and your work be recognized!
WRITE DURING THE SUMMER INSTITUTE — a chance to write from your heart and from the program that is the heart of the writing project.
WRITE BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL — a chance to share your excitement about returning to school with new plans, new ideas, new enthusiasm. Forward your summer writing, such as Op-Ed pieces and other reflections on the importance of writing and the impact the writing project has on teachers and students in your area.
PLAN A LOCAL EVENT FOR THE NATIONAL DAY ON WRITING, OCTOBER 20, 2009 — For more information go to http://www.ncte.org/action/dayonwriting.
Let us hear from you. Share your letters to Congress and any responses you receive by sending them to us at publicaffairs@nwp.org. This not only helps us keep up with the extraordinary work you do, but also helps shape our national advocacy effort.
