The Upstate Writing Project is excited to introduce a New Teacher Initiative called Fresh Start for the 2009-2010 school year. This Initiative is made up of 15 new teachers with 0-3 years experience who are committed to becoming excellent teachers of writing. Participants will attend 8 sessions where they will receive Ralph Fletcher’s Writing Workshop the Essential Guide.
