History

Founded by Bard College president Leon Botstein, for nearly three decades IWT has been guiding teachers in developing and refining writing practices with the goal of enlivening and enriching classrooms through writing.

Workshops

IWT creates professional development workshops for teachers across the curriculum in secondary schools and colleges, leading workshops on a range of topics in the teaching of writing.

Mission

In an experiential setting, participants learn, by doing what their students will do, how workshop practices can be applied in their classrooms.
