Teachers And Writers Collaborative

Description

Organization Profile: Teachers & Writers Collaborative, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1967 by a group of writers and educators who believed that writers could make a unique contribution to the teaching of writing. T&W links writers and educators in collaborations that become the source for new ideas and materials and that explore the connections between writing and reading literature. Since 1967, T&W has sent more than 700 writers into schools to teach more than 750,000 children. T&W also publishes Teachers & Writers Magazine, a free online resource for educators; and books about the teaching of writing.
