NWP’s approach to argument writing starts with having students understand multiple points of view that go beyond pros and cons and are based on multiple pieces of evidence, which ultimately enables students to take responsible civic action.

" I often hear educators talking about high expectations and rigor. These are buzzwords that everyone agrees are an important part of education. However, as I participate in walkthroughs with principals and debrief what we are seeing, I'm finding that school leaders often struggle to know what to actually look for. They can identify a rigorous text and determine whether expectations around scholar product are "high" or "low," but seem to miss opportunities to identify key cultural indicators of the presence or absence of high expectations."

Participating in a conversation is central to our understanding of argument. Before students develop a solid claim for an argument, they need to get a good sense of what the range of credible voices are saying and what a variety of positions are around the topic. Students have to first distinguish between credible and unreliable sources, and then identify the range of legitimate opinions on a single issue. This initial move counters the argument culture by seeking understanding before taking a stand.

Many schools, especially in high-poverty areas, are accustomed to professional development providers that materialize for a short period of time, promise success, and then disappear. The NWP, however, relies on well-established local Writing Projects to provide professional development, believing that local teachers are the best teachers of other local teachers. This relationship helps break down resistance to change.
