The Red River Valley Writing Project (RRVWP) supports and promotes the teaching for writing across the curriculum. As site of the National Writing Project, the RRVWP receives federal grant funds which are then matched by funds from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, the University of North Dakota College of Arts and Sciences, and the University of North Dakota Department of Teaching & Learning within the College of Education and Human Develpment. The goals of this project are to create a network of teachers who can share their success in teaching writing, to
develop a community of teachers who are also writers, to encourage professional growth in the teaching of writing, and to improve the writing of students across the curriculum at all levels.
Teachers are enouraged to become part of this community by participating in our summer institutes and through sponsored professional development opportunities throughout the year. We believe that the best way to improve the quality of writing in our schools, kindergarten to college, is for teachers to teach each other, sharing their best classroom practices and exploring the teaching of writing through study and writing.
Prinicipals are encouraged to contact the RRVWP and find our how we can support their professional development goals for their schools.
