IAWP (Inland Area Writing Project)

The IAWP is one of 17 sites of the California Writing Project. This project identifies academic leaders among the ranks of K-12 local teachers. It invites them to a 5-week summer institute where, in the company of expert colleagues from the schools and the university, they write, read, share and critique the ideas, pedagogies and writing of each other. After the institute, the IAWP helps local schools and districts set up professional development programs that draw on the teachers who have experienced the summer institute.
