Missouri Writing Projects Network MWPN is comprised of five Writing Project Sites.  We are firmly committed to the belief that teachers are the key to educational change and that real change in classroom practice happens over time.  

All MWPN sites base their programs on the following National Writing Project Assumptions:

• Writing is pivotal to learning, to academic achievement, and to job success.

• Writing instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through university.

• Universities and schools in collaboration provide powerful programs for teachers.

• Effective teachers make the best teachers of other teachers.

• Teachers are the key to reform in education.

• Professional development begins when teachers enter teaching and continues throughout their careers.

• Writing is fundamental to learning all subjects.
