Inservice Programs

“Effective professional development programs provide frequent and ongoing opportunities for teachers to write and to examine theory, research, and practice systematically. Collectively, teacher-leaders are our greatest resource for educational reform.” NWP Core Principle

The Oregon Writing Project has been a model of professional development, teacher leadership, and school reform. OWP's course and professional development opportunities have helped teachers use writing across the curriculum and grade levels to improve student writing, thinking, learning, and academic achievement in a global society.

District-wide inservices are offered, along with professional development institutes for individual teachers at all educational levels. An affiliate of the National Writing Project, the Oregon Writing Project is approved as a No Child Left Behind (Title II, Part C) professional development provider.

Please refer to the side bar for more information about our inservice programs that can be held in your school or district. Workshops are usually held on the school site and offered at times most convenient for the school, usually after school. OWP also offers workshops during staff inservice days, Saturdays, or during the summer months. A brochure that outlines costs is available.
