Biographical / Historical

The National Writing Project began in 1974 in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley, where James Gray and his colleagues established a university-based program for K–16 teachers called the Bay Area Writing Project (BAWP).
James Gray was hired as a teacher trainee supervisor at the University of California, Berkeley in 1961, and was soon afterwards invited to become a teacher of English. Gray’s experience as a high school teacher; director of English, language arts, and reading for Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS) in Europe and ME; and a National Defense Education Act (NDEA) colloquium director for the University of Hawaii and UC Davis Institutes informed the development of the Writing Project model. While at UC Berkeley, he was also involved in the inception of the California Area III English Project (1964) and the California English Teacher Specialist Program (1968-1970).
Responding to a renewed concern in the early 1970s about American students’ writing skills, and the teaching of writing in particular, Gray and his colleagues developed the Bay Area Writing Project concept: a “teachers-teaching-teachers” model of professional development for teachers of writing. In 1972, the first meeting of interested teachers was held at the UC Berkeley Faculty Club. Following the support, in 1973, of Provost and Dean of the College of Letters and Science, Rod Park, the Bay Area Writing Project held its first invitational institute in 1974, with 29 teacher participants.
In 1976, the Bay Area Writing Project received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which suggested an expansion of participating sites. By the end of that year, the NWP had grown to 14 sites in six states, including nine across California. Over the next 15 years, the network continued to grow, with funding for writing project sites made possible by foundation grants and matching funds from local sources. In 1991 NWP was authorized as a federal education program.
The NWP now receives a core grant from the U.S. Department of Education, which is supplemented by local, state, and private funds. Its network has expanded to include nearly 200 sites in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All sites are co-directed by faculty from the local university and from K–12 schools and adhere to a national program model, in which they design and deliver customized inservice programs to local schools, districts, and higher education institutions. The invitational summer institutes continue to play a central role in developing policy and training the teacher leadership (called “teacher-consultants”). NWP also operates a series of national programs intended to support specific aspects of site development across the country.
