We are the National Writing Project site that serves West Michigan from Grand Rapids to the lakeshore.  Affiliated with Grand Valley State University, our programs enrich teachers by inviting them to grow as creative writers, as writing coaches, as teacher researchers, and as teachers of other teachers.  We believe that teachers who write and who share their classroom practices with others become the best sources of knowledge about excellent pedagogy. We are an authorized professional development provider for NCLB, under Title II, Part C, Subpart 2.
