Philosophy and Mission

The Oregon Writing Project at Willamette supports excellence in the teaching of writing at all educational levels and subjects through collaboration, education, and community involvement. As an affiliate of the National Writing Project, we are dedicated to improving the teaching of writing in our community’s schools. Through a professional development model, OWP at Willamette aims to build the leadership, programs, and research needed for teachers to help their students become successful writers and learners.
