Northern Nevada Writing Project: Our Four Print Publications

The Northern Nevada Writing Project is a not-for-profit organization.   All monies received from this page's sales go to pay for the creation of future resources for teachers.

 

Appreciated praise for our brand new resource:
The Going Deep with Compare & Contrast Thinking Guide for Teachers

"Like all the NNWP guides, Going Deep with Compare and Contrast Thinking takes abstract thinking and embeds it in highly practical lessons that teachers of all grade levels and content areas can use instantly.  I have never seen books so jam-packed with fun lessons that animate learning and promote student engagement. But  what makes these books so special is that they are created and refined by the same teachers and students who use them. The NNWP has created an engine for learning and curriculum development we can call learn from."

--Barry Lane, author, The Reviser's Toolbox and 51 Wacky We-Search Reports

 

Our nerwest guide contains 144 pages of techniques and resources from thirteen Northern Nevada teachers and consultants who studied and applied the research of Robert Marzano into their classrooms. Kindergarten through high school ideas and examples, representing history, math, language arts, and science are included in this outstanding new publication.
