In honor of National Letter Writing Month, our DWP writing circles had the absolute privilege of hosting Tona Bell from !

Tona shared her deep passion for the handwritten word and inspired us with a powerful message: the art of letter writing isn’t just about staying in touch; it can be a profound tool for positive social change.

Now, the Drew Writing Project is extending an invitation to YOU. Grab your favorite pen, find some paper, and join us in writing letters this month. Let’s make a difference, one envelope at a time! Drop a ✉️ in the comments if you’ll be writing with us!

A beautiful day on the Drew campus for the NJCTE & Drew Writing Project 2026 Spring Conference ☀️✏️

Educators and administrators from across New Jersey came together to share their practices, learn from one another, and celebrate the power of teaching and writing. It was a day filled with new connections, inspiring ideas, and the joy of seeing familiar faces again.

Grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and passionate community of educators!

Rubrics don’t have to be the end of the story. They can be the beginning.🌅

In Reimagining Rubrics as Part of the Revision-Writing Process, Dr. Liz Decker invites us to rethink traditional assessments by showing how rubrics can guide reflection, deepen revision, and help writers think more intentionally about their choices.
