This month the Boston Writing Project, partnering with University of Massachusetts Boston, the Calderwood Foundation, and Charlestown High opened the school’s new writing center. The second recipient of a competitive grant to create writing centers in Boston Public Schools, Charlestown’s new center will offer a full program including one-on-one tutoring, workshops, and more.
BWP leaders Dr. Steve Gordon and Dr. Denise Patmon have been instrumental co-coordinators of the Calderwood Foundation grant that made the writing center possible. Charlestown and Brighton are the two sites that received funding for the writing centers.
In addition to Gordon and Patmon, BWP Director Dr. Glenn Mitchell was on hand for the Charlestown inauguration. All three are appear in a recent Boston Globe article.
