Information for Administrators

The San Diego Area Writing Project is a federally authorized professional development provider under No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The SDAWP can assist you in designing a professional development plan that meets one or all of the goals of No Child Left Behind.

Our Teacher Consultants possess in-depth content knowledge that supports the California State Standards (Common Core Standards). Teacher Consultants present research-based 'best-practices,' model effective writing instruction, and facilitate time for participants to apply newly acquired knowledge to their unique teaching contexts and classrooms.
