TEACHER CONSULTANTS

Project Write Inc., workshops are led by Teacher Consultants from the National Writing Project. Most are trained through the Shenandoah Valley Writing Project at Shenandoah University. They are currently practicing teachers in a variety of grades and subject areas. Our workshops are proven to work with students of all ability levels, but especially students seeing a creative challenge.
