Structure of the Workshop:
The workshop meets mornings and afternoons, Monday through Thursday, with the option of meeting on Fridays for additional technology training. Each morning participants and guest specialists demonstrate best practices. Afternoons are devoted to examining teaching resources, working in the computer lab, and sharing writing in peer response-editing groups.
There are two phases in the program:

What Teachers say about the Oregon Writing Project:
The Writing project has become my professional home. What I learned there has become so much a part of me that it is second nature in my teaching…
Everything I currently do in the classroom is in some way affected by what I learned at the project, or by what I developed off of that learning.
