The primary purpose of Writers At Work and its sister electronic communications sites, herein called WAW*, is to support and enhance writing, learning, and teaching that prepares users for success. Providing access to WAW is an investment in the future. WAW supports the core beliefs of positive teaching and learning:
* Do what’s best for students.
* Continue to learn and grow.
* Respect and care about each other.
Electronic communication is a tool for life-long learning, and that access to WAW is one of the resources that promotes educational and organizational excellence. Responsible use of WAW will allow users to significantly expand their knowledge by accessing and using information resources, and by analyzing, collaborating and publishing information.
I designed this site as a resource for myself and my family, my students and their families as well as for other students or teachers. The information here has been created by myself, other educators, and others, with credit provided as needed. Since there are some general guidelines for being able to add to student sites, we know that following the guidelines will enhance our learning process. Remember to contact any technology specialist to help you with any problems or concerns regarding your computer as I have no control over settings or other changes if you download to your computer.
Additional Information: If any inappropriate content is found on this site, it will be removed.
Users not following the guidelines will lose participation privileges.

My Career: Reflect curiosity and wonder in the students whom I teach; bring them into the global world through knowledge and technology with writing and reading as the vehicle for the journey.
