EIU Writing Project

The Eastern Illinois Writing Project seeks to provide K-16 teachers across the curriculum with opportunities to:

• Improve student writing in all disciplines.
• Provide schools with an effective in-service model.
• Identify, celebrate and enhance the professional role of successful classroom teachers.
• Apply a teacher-centered model to implement these goals.

To facilitate teaching and learning in all of our programs, we follow National Writing Project principles and believe “The best teachers of teachers are other teachers” and “The best teachers of writing are writers themselves.”
