Joining other UC and CSU sites to become the seventeenth site in the California Writing Project network, our Teacher Consultants work with teachers, schools, and local districts to improve student writing and learning.

Our work with schools and districts has included providing ISAW professional development for English teachers from the Green Dot Schools and training of the trainers sessions in disciplinary literacies and the California Common Core State Standards for Lancaster High School. In addition, a $20,000 SEED grant from the National Writing Project supports our on-going literacy-through-the-disciplines work at Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences in response to the literacy requirements of the Common Core State Standards.
