What is the National Gallery of Writing?
The National Gallery of Writing (http://galleryofwriting.org/), created by NCTE, will be a widely-publicized effort to demonstrate the diversity of writing in which people are involved every day. WPA is a national partner in the NGoW and has its own gallery. The audience for the National Gallery of Writing is the public writ large — anyone who is interested in what writers and writing teachers do. NCTE anticipates extensive coverage of the NGoW beginning in October 2009, when the Gallery is unveiled to the public. We invite submissions to WPA’s Gallery that demonstrate and elaborate its theme, “Effective Writing Programs Make for Effective Writing.” You can see the WPA Gallery entrance portal here: http://galleryofwriting.org/galleries/council_of_writing_program_adminis… Why Should You Participate? As WPAs, we know that college and university writing programs connect writing teachers, researchers, and students by providing innovative, informed, visible writing instruction throughout
