The National Writing Project at Rutgers contracts multi-year inservice partnerships with New Jersey schools and districts. In light of research that suggests the limited effect of one-shot professional development visits, the NWP at Rutgers collaborates with school partners to design a sequence of support services that span the entire year.
 
All programming is tailored to a partner's needs and may include the following services: an annual inservice series composed of half and full-day workshops, a two-week, summer Open Institute, an off-campus graduate course, coaching, and curriculum support.
 
Our Teacher Consultants, practicing New Jersey teachers and experienced inservice providers, offer research-based practices that have led to writing improvement in their own classrooms.
