Dear CWP Fellows and other interested writing teachers,

CWP has been a cornerstone for teachers interested in becoming excellent teachers of writing in grades K through college for the past 40 years. For multiple reasons, districts aren’t interested in bringing CWP training to their teachers, and we aren’t interested in giving teachers anything but the best in writing instruction. We have thought long and hard about our choices and have decided to discontinue CWP. There are National Writing Project sites in the state you may want to consider if you want more staff development around writing.

Our staff is interested in keeping our website going for CWP folks to stay connected, ask questions, share ideas, and continue becoming better teachers of writing. 

We thank you for your years of support. We know we have created a powerful cadre of writing teachers to carry on the Colorado Writing Project mission and spirit.

We have loved spending our summers with you for the past 40 years. Please remember your students deserve the very best in writing instruction.

Sincerely,

Karen Hartman, Director
