What was last year's Teacher to Teacher like? Read Felicia's account and listen to Walter Dean Myers deliver the keynote speech! 9th Annual Teacher to Teacher Recap!
The New York City Writing Project's goal is is to improve the teaching and learning of language and literacy in New York City public schools by increasing teachers' abilities to use writing as a tool for learning, thinking, and communicating. Through collaborations with teachers and schools, the NYCWP seeks to transform the ways in which writing and reading are perceived, taught, and evaluated in urban classrooms. (About the NYCWP )
