Overview
The National Writing Project is a teacher professional development organization that focuses the knowledge, expertise, and leadership of educators on efforts to improve student writing and learning. The grantee will work with MIT and the University of Colorado Boulder to further develop strategies for widespread dissemination of measures of civic engagement. If successful, their work can provide evidence of how additional assessments, such as measurements of civic outcomes of education, are helpful and feasible.

Grants to this Grantee
for pilot testing and developing strategies to scale assessments that measure civic engagement
The grantee will pilot test their instruments with deeper learning schools, engage with the deeper learning community, and develop strategies for widespread dissemination of their tools. If successful, their work can provide evidence of how additional assessments, such as measurements of civic outcomes of education, are helpful and feasible.
for planning research studies and a national convening
The National Writing Project, a well-regarded teacher professional development organization, focuses the knowledge, expertise, and leadership of educators on efforts to improve student writing and learning. This planning grant will support a network of organizations — all of which have individually developed measures of civic engagement — as they co-design a research study that will document the current state of civic learning in the United States. This research has the potential to facilitate civic education field building.
