Hello, HWP teacher-consultants, friends, and inquirers! I thought I’d let you know a few of the many activities we’re involved in.

Putting on the annual Indiana Teachers of Writing (ITW) fall conference, Friday, Oct. 9th. (See story elsewhere on this page.)

Entering our second year of partnership with Noblesville High School, where our focus is on academic literacy, especially reading in the different content areas. We meet once a month with a team of teachers from various disciplines. We’d love to work with your school in this way.
