Schools

Consultation and Coaching Services

The Connecticut Writing Project offers the following consultative services to school systems across the state:

  • Needs assessment: the evaluation of a school system's current practice and goals regarding writing. This is done through surveys, an examination of curriculum, interviews with teachers and administrators and classroom observations.
  • Help systems relate curricular goals to current research about writing.
  • Help systems to address the CMT and CAPT tests in light of current research about writing.
  • Participate in grant writing and proposals for writing programs.
  • Develop school or system-specific inservice programs to address instructional needs in writing.
  • Provide Writers-in-Residence for short or long term projects.
