The LSU Writing Project (LSU WP), established in 1985, promotes the exploration of writing, writing research, and how to share writing best practice among educators. The goal of the Writing Project is to improve the teaching of writing and ultimately, help Louisiana students become accomplished writers and learners. Through professional development and outreach, the project serves a ten parish network of districts and schools in the southern part of the state.
