What is RWCT?
RWCT stands for the Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking Program, which started in the spring of 1997 to help teachers in the former Ccommunist block learn and try out methods of teaching for active learning and critical thinking. With support from the Open Society Institute, New York (www.sorosny.org), and the International Development Division of the International Reading Association, as of the summer of 2004, RWCT has reached more thanover 40,000 educators in more than over 30 countries around the world (see map below: Green = RWCT projects; Purple = Related projects; Yellow = Projects in the making).
