Writers in the Schools Alliance: Digital Resource Center

In fall 2012, Teachers & Writers Collaborative (T&W) will launch a searchable Digital Resource Center (DRC) on the T&W website (www.twc.org). Initially drawing on material from T&W's 45 years of print publications, the DRC will also include resources provided by other members of the WITS Alliance. The WITS Alliance is a professional network of literary arts education programs and individuals who serve K-12 students and provide professional development for their teachers.
