Our Programs

The Boise State Writing Project offers a variety of professional development programs, ranging from half-day workshops to extended inservice for teachers and schools.  All of our offerings are based on current research of best practices in education.  BSWP programs meet the high standards set by the National Writing Project, and all of our offerings can be paid for through Title II and Title IIa funds as we are approved federal in-service providers under NCLB.   Our programs will be specifically tailored to meet the specific needs articulated by your teachers, building or district.
