Gate City Writes (GCW) facilitates opportunities for teachers to write and teach writing alongside K-12 students in the form of professional development. In addition, GCW supports young writers (grades 3-12) as they draft and publish a text using digital media during a summer camp. The goal of this group is to connect research in writing education to classroom practice by engaging K-12 educators and students with university faculty in a collaborative writing community. In addition, Gate City Writes hosts a Community Voices workshop for recent immigrants and refugees in the Greensboro area. Like the young writers’ camp, campers write about a topic of their choice in whatever genre they choose, while also receiving support with learning a new language and culture.
