PhilWP celebrating 25 years as a powerful teacher network
The Philadelphia Writing Project (PhilWP) is celebrating its 25th anniversary of teachers teaching teachers.
The mantra of “teachers as the best teachers of teachers” represents the power of PhilWP, a local site of the National Writing Project.
For its silver anniversary, PhilWP is commemorating its impact on literacy and writing as a critical tool for learning in all Philadelphia schools. Through the PhilWP network, education reform is not about top-down mandates or rigid accountability measures but represents teachers working together in professional and collegial communities.
The PhilWP teacher network consists of over 700 teacher-consultants and impacts thousands of classrooms and schools across all grades and disciplines. Programs include summer institutes, summer practicum schools, seminars, workshops, programs for teachers of English language learners, continuing education courses, study groups, teacher research communities, and social action forums.
