Chippewa River Writing Project
Supporting the teaching and learning of writing
The Chippewa River Writing Project (CRWP), as a site of the National Writing Project (NWP) at Central Michigan University, will further the mission of both organizations by improving the teaching and learning of writing in Michigan’s schools and local communities. Since our founding in 2009, we have developed relationships with teachers and schools that will support quality writing instruction and, in turn, will better prepare our students for college, work, and community service.
Specific opportunities vary based on faculty and teacher interests and the site’s capacity, yet we strive to:
- Strengthen CMU’s Public Engagement and External Partnerships efforts;
- Invite local teachers – many of whom are CMU alumni – back for graduate course work, to apply for additional grant and foundation monies; and
- Increase CMU presence in local, state, and national conversations about the teaching of English language arts.
