The Literacy Lab 

Despite considerable resources and reform efforts, the American public school system is failing to help a sizeable portion of children in reading. Recent data suggest that one-third of fourth graders still read below a basic level of proficiency. The W&M Literacy Lab is an interdisciplinary initiative that aims to address these issues by providing tutoring, advocacy and educational opportunities for teachers.

Eastern Virginia Writing Project 

The Eastern Virginia Writing Project, located at William & Mary, is a local site of the National Writing Project. Using the national program design as its model, the EVWP offers teachers the expertise necessary to strengthen and evolve their own writing programs. Through the Teacher-Consultant (TC) program, teachers who participate in the summer invitational institute receive training that not only supports the teaching of writing in the English classroom, but in every classroom and in every subject area, K-12.
