Oregon Writing Project
A 20-year tradition of helping teachers use writing to promote student learning, the Oregon Writing Project at Lewis & Clark has become a landmark in the lives of a generation of teachers. Since 1984, the OWP has worked with school districts in the Portland area and southwest Washington to identify and train teachers as experts in classroom writing instruction and as in-district resources for staff development. Participating teachers write in a broad range of genres to strengthen their own sense of the writing process, and also explore current research, share tested classroom strategies for teaching writing, and prepare for writing assessment and issues in school reform.
The OWP at Lewis & Clark includes two invitational summer institutes for teachers of all disciplines, kindergarten through college, and school-year follow-up meetings for a full year of learning about teaching writing. Our program is affiliated with the National Writing Project at the University of California, Berkeley, which provides some financial assistance for summer institute participants.
