Genesee Valley Writing Project
A collaborative school-university partnership dedicated to improving the quality of student writing and learning in PK-16 schools across the Genesee Valley region through teacher-centered professional development. The Genesee Valley Writing Project (GVWP) is a local site affiliate of the National Writing Project, a federally-funded professional development program with 200 university-based sites across the country.

Sponsored by and housed within the Warner School and administered through the Warner Center for Professional Development and Education Reform, the GVWP is directed by Joanne Larson, a leading scholar in new literacies. The project serves teachers and students from urban and suburban schools in Monroe and surrounding counties.

Using a teachers-teaching-teachers model, the GVWP allows participating teachers to tap into what is known about writing and the teaching of writing from all sources—key research findings, important books and articles, and most importantly, the classroom practices of effective and successful teachers.

In its mission to improving the quality of student writing and learning in area schools, the GVWP sponsors an array of programs, including an annual invitational Summer Institute, school-based inservice programs, Young Writers Summer Camp, and professional development continuity programs. ]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2012 00:00:00 GMT New Youth Writing Camp Open to Local Students http://www.rochester.edu/Warner/newsevents/story.php?id=945 http://www.rochester.edu/Warner/newsevents/story.php?id=945 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT Urban Education Expert to Discuss the Death of Trayvon Martin on WXXI Radio Show http://www.rochester.edu/Warner/newsevents/story.php?id=942 http://www.rochester.edu/Warner/newsevents/story.php?id=942 1370 Connection with Bob Smith from 1 to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Apr. 10.
