Professional Development Resources


The following key resources from the What is C3WP webpage are useful for introducing teachers and district leaders to C3WP in beginning sessions of a professional development sequence:

  • Program Design Principles
  • Resource Design Principles
  • Cycles of Instruction
  • Instructional resources guides

The resources on this page support the leadership development of writing projects, extending the expertise of professional development facilitators.

C3WP core and supplemental readings give teachers an important opportunity to dive deeper into concepts that under gird the design principles and resources of C3WP. Through reading and discussion supported by professional development facilitators, teachers explore these resources and apply them in using and adapting C3WP resources for their classrooms.

These resources provide professional development facilitators with workshop designs or tools that focus on various aspects of C3WP.
