Katherine Schulten, a teacher-consultant with the New York City Writing Project and a writer for The New York Times's blog The Learning Network, recalls how the NWP shaped her teaching style and her students' ability to "think in writing." ( from the National Writing Project website)
It was the first time anyone had ever asked me to “think in writing,” the first time I’d had a teacher who was more interested in the quality of thought in a first draft than the mechanics, and, most important, the first time I understood that there wasn’t an official answer to the question of what a text “meant.” (Schulten at NYT)
