Oregon Writing Project Collaborative

The Oregon Writing Project Collaborative supports excellence in the teaching of writing at all educational levels and subjects through collaboration, education and community involvement. As a National Writing Project site, we are dedicated to improving the teaching of writing and use of writing to learn in our communities’ schools.

Through a professional development model, the OWP Collaborative aims to build the leadership, programs and research needed for teachers to help their students become successful writers and learners.

What We Offer

Institute in the Teaching of Writing

The Institute in the Teaching of Writing invites educators of any content area or grade level to participate. The institute is modeled after the Bay Area Writing Project and offers professional growth opportunities for teachers, kindergarten through college in all content areas, who wish to develop their writing skills and improve effectiveness in teaching writing.

Come strengthen your skills as a writer and as a teacher of writing alongside colleagues from surrounding districts.

Professional Development

The Oregon Writing Project Collaborative offers a variety of on-campus and online professional development and in-service programming each school year and during the summer. These workshops aim to support teachers in the improvement of student writing and the use of writing to learn across the curriculum. Schools and districts may arrange on-site programs according to their needs, size and resources.

A variety of PreK-high school programs are available. Special topics are available upon request.
