WMWP in DC — 2007
Check out what the Massachusetts Writing Project teachers said about their visit to the NWP Spring Meeting.
Recently, I traveled to Washington, D.C. with members of the Massachusetts Writing Project to visit our state representatives and senators. We were there to tell our story about using writing to improve learning in the classroom. We talked about how the National Writing Project supports teachers in their own learning to improve their teaching and therefore, learning for students. It’s always an exciting trip–as writing project teachers gather together to hear the latest data on the most powerful professional development program in the country.
This trip was especially exciting. We always have amazing meetings with Senator Kerry’s and Senator Kennedy’s aides. These two young people are passionate about education. However, on this trip we actually ran into McGovern who took some time to hear our stories himself and Senator Kennedy himself.
