National Writing Project
The Oklahoma State University Writing Project offers
teachers in Oklahoma a school-university partnership in developing strategies
for writing, teaching writing, and research. As a result, the teachers will
become active writers and/or researchers, their students will write more often,
and the quality of their writing will improve. In addition, the university will
improve the quality of its teacher education program in writing.
