The Philadelphia Writing Project (PhilWP) is a practitioner network, connecting K-university educators—including teachers, principals, professors, parents, and out-of-school-time leaders—to explore literacy, writing, teaching, and learning across grade levels and disciplines.
PhilWP is a site of the National Writing Project (NWP) at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (PennGSE).
As part of their participation in this inquiry group, we will:
learn about the history of the construction of race and the role whiteness plays in personal and collective history.
using this knowledge and perspective, we will evolve our practice and classroom resources.
develop multiple modes of delivery and use of the course framework that can be shared in our classrooms, communities, and with other educators.
