The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP), located at Teachers College, Columbia University, has been a premier provider of professional development for schools in New York City, across the nation and internationally for almost three decades. Our mission is to support literacy instruction through research and professional development. That research has tackled many subjects, including, of course, the teaching of reading and writing K-8, but also including methods of supporting large scale school reform, of coaching teachers, and of leading schools in which young people grow to be avid and skilled readers and writers.

The Project is a think-tank and a community of practice. More than a hundred thousand teachers have attended one of the Project’s rigorous summer institutes. Books written by the project director, Lucy Calkins, and by current and former staff members and mentor teachers are best-sellers, and the influence of those books is wider and deeper than most people could possibly imagine. Certainly it is no exaggeration to say that the ideas developed by the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project are foundational to reading and writing workshop instruction across the globe.

If your school or district would like to access the resources of the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP), you’ll want to read ‘Receive Project Services’ where you can learn about the process for applying for staff development services. You needn’t wait, however, before tapping into the resources on this website, in our books and DVDs, and our conference days and institutes.
