PLWP provided me the opportunity to reinvigorate my love of writing. As teachers we often get swept away by paperwork, deadlines, professional development, and God knows what else. PLWP reminded me why I love to write and provided me with a network of other passionate teachers and writers with which to develop my work both professionally and personally. My students will be better writers and better people thanks to the development of my writing, the relationships I've developed with other teachers, and the time spent at the institute talking about being a better teacher.
