The Northern California Writing Project is a professional development organization devoted to improving the teaching of writing and literacy in Northern California. We offer Common Core-aligned inservice programs for schools focused on:

• Opinion/Argument Writing in Elementary Grades
• Content-Area Reading and Writing in Middle and Secondary Grades
• Digital Reading and Writing

During the 2012-13 school year, the NCWP is working with teachers from:

• Biggs Elementary School
• Pine Ridge School (Paradise, CA)
• Jackson Heights Elementary School (Red Bluff, CA)
• Alta Mesa Elementary School (Redding, CA)
• Alturas Elementary School
• Yreka High School
• Corning High School
• Hamilton City High School
• Modoc High School (Alturas, CA)
• Shasta Union High School District

The NCWP also offers programs for individual teachers. “Teachers teaching teachers” has been a Writing Project mantra since its inception; our program leaders are expert local teachers sharing their successful practices with their colleagues. The Summer Institute is the centerpiece of our work with individual teachers.
