Teachers College Reading and Writing Project

Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP or "The Project") was founded and directed by Lucy Calkins, The Robinson Professor of Children's Literature at Teachers College, Columbia University. Its mission was to help young people become avid and skilled readers, writers, and inquirers through research, curriculum development, and in-school professional development. TCRWP developed methods and tools for the teaching of reading and writing through research, curriculum development published through Heinemann, and professional development with teachers and school leaders. TCRWP supported the Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop approaches through its Units of Study curriculum. The project involved thousands of schools and teachers in New York and around the country in an ongoing, multi-faceted in-service community of practitioners engaged in the application and continual refinement of approaches to helping children become effective writers and readers.

In October 2023, the TCRWP was shut down and replaced with a new program not associated with Calkins' company, due to recognition that the Reading Workshop and Writers Workshop programs were not aligned with decades of research, particularly that phonics-based education was critical during early development.
