Grant to continue Central Arkansas Writing Project

Dr. Stephanie Vanderslice, Lisa Mongno and Sophie Bradford, Department of Writing and Speech, recently received a $43,000 grant for the Central Arkansas Writing Project.

The grant, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Writing Project, will help improve student writing and learning in K-16 classrooms.

The National Writing Project extends the uses of writing in all disciplines; provides schools, colleges, and universities with an effective professional development model; and identifies, celebrates and enhances the professional role of successful classroom teachers.
