Our SuccessVisit any school affiliated with the TCRWP and you'll immediately see why the organization is a success. Pull your chair alongside and listen to the children's memoirs and essays, lean in and listen to their literature circles and read aloud conversations and you'll glimpse why this work has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of educators the world over. Visit TCRWP middle schools and see fervent writers, principals leading multiple book clubs, kids taking home stacks of books to read on vacation. Attend any of our Saturday Reunions (which are free and require no registration) and you'll learn why thousands of educators gather on campus--as they have now for more than 75 Reunions--to be reminded of why we chose teaching in the first place. Success is evident, too, when one sees that books by Project staff past and present are among the best-loved, most widely-used works in the field. Read More |
