Our selection of Institute participants, known as National Writing Project Fellows, is guided by our primary interest in master teachers who wish to improve as writers and as writing teachers. We welcome applicants from all school districts, grade levels, and content areas. Above all, we are interested in applicants who are committed to supporting the improvement of writing and teaching in New Jersey schools, to assuming leadership responsibilities in our site, and to contributing their expertise to the select inservice partnerships we cultivate and maintain.
