User:Paul at UCB/Bay Area Writing Project

The Bay Area Writing Project, or BAWP, was founded in 1973 at the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Education by James Gray and Albert "Cap" Lavin. BAWP is the founding site of the National Writing Project, a network of over 200 university-based writing projects sites across the U.S. For a detailed account of BAWP's creation and its early years you might want to read Jim Gray's biography "Teachers at the Center: A Memoir of the Early Years of the National Writing Project" (a link is provided below).
