Teachers & Writers Collaborative (T&W) offers school-based and after-school writing residencies with professional writers for K-12 students; professional development workshops for teachers and administrators; and writing workshops for young people and adults at community sites and T&W’s Center for Imaginative Writing.

School-based Residencies

During a T&W residency and working with a professional writer, students come to think of themselves as writers. As students are exposed to work by diverse classic and contemporary authors, they learn to express their opinions and emotions through writing; experiment with a variety of genres; and take their writing through every stage of the writer’s process, from first draft to revision to publication. learn more



Professional Development

T&W offers professional development workshops for classroom teachers on teaching students to write in a specific genre of choice or in cross-disciplinary writing. Workshops are led by professional writers and tailored to each school’s needs. learn more



Other T&W Workshops

Express yourself! T&W partners with other organizations to offer writing workshops for young people and adults. These programs are fun, challenging, and driven by the needs of the participants, whether they are 7, 17, or 77. Recent workshop participants have included parents of students involved in T&W residencies, young adult cancer surviors, and visually impaired teenagers. learn more
