The Writing Proficiency Project:
A Partnership between the Oakland Unified School District and the Bay Area Writing Project

The Oakland Writes website aims to provide teachers with resources and information about the teaching of writing and OUSD writing assessments in English / language arts and history/social studies. Here you will find samples of student writing and lesson plans to support writing instruction. We will also post announcements of upcoming events and professional development workshops. We hope you will check back regularly for updates and new postings.
