A T&W poetry program will not only celebrate Poetry Month right, but it will also increase your students’ participation in class and their motivation for writing. 

Take a look at the T&W poetry programs that are already underway:

• With funding from the New York Community Trust’s “Beyond Teaching to the Test” initiative, T&W has partnered with CFN #534 to implement several poetry writing programs in middle school social studies and science classrooms.
• Students at Booker T. Washington (054M) are writing poetry as it relates to the American Revolution with one T&W writer.
• Two T&W writers are leading poetry workshops with first and second graders at Adolph Ochs (111M).
• Spoken word and performance poetry are getting shout-outs at Liberty Partnerships Program/LaGuardia Community College and at VISIONS @ Selis Manor. 
• T&W writers have been teaching poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and even bookmaking in Gifted & Talented programs at four schools: Mamie Fay (122Q), Louis Marshall (276K), Adam Clayton Powell (153M), and Helen Keller (153X).
• At the Newbridge Road School in North Bellmore, New York, one T&W poet is in his sixth year of residence.
• And after our successful pilot program at two schools last year, T&W and the Center for the Art of Translation have trained additional writers in  Poetry Inside Out, a curriculum that increases students’ ELA skills through translation and exploration of world literature.
