[1]The New York City Writing Project's New Teacher Initiative is a three-year endeavor funded by the National Writing Project with support from the Stone Foundation. In this blog, the coordinator's of that program will share a description of the program, glimpses into the events we hosted for new teachers and portions of the conversations that new teachers engaged in via a moderated Listserv. The blog site also includes a link to resources for New York City teachers and the National Writing Project's New Teacher Initiative site.
