I was surprised to find out that the NWP has been around for such a long time. The first I heard of it and became a participant was in 1993. It was called The Borinqen Wrtg. Project sponsored by Sacred Heart University in Santurce, Puerto Rico. I got great wrtg. strategies that I still use w/my students.
On the other hand, it's so true what James Gray comments about time and wrtg. We have to consider giving students more time when wrtg.

I hope you begin to understand the heft, depth, and breadth of NWP because it will just make you prouder of being a part of it. Do yourself a favor and go to as many NWP events as possible. You will just feel so good about the relationships, the organization, and your teaching.
Yes, we must make time for our students to write, but we must also give this gift to ourselves.
You're absolutely right! We also have to give this gift to ourselves, and I'm well-prepared to receive it.
