Teachers need a community. The @writingproject has had a huge impact on me and @CarolJago perfectly summed it up today when she asked, "Could there be a better family of professionals, all of whom are willing to accept...this is unperfectable?" @WRITE_Center #writecenterlive @CWP

"I've never taught a strong writer who wasn't a reader." -@CarolJago So true and an important point @KellyGToGo also emphasized last week. I couldn't agree more! https://t.co/BgZa6gjxtT … @WRITE_Center #writecenterlive @CWP @writingproject
