The Seven Bridges Writing Project is a National Writing Project site located at the University of North Florida and serving the north Florida and southeastern Georgia regions.
We work with K-12 teachers, administrators, and district personnel to implement research-based writing pedagogies that engage students in writing and that help younger writers find greater voice in their work.

THE
TEAM
The Seven Bridges Writing team consists of professors of education, professors of writing, and K-12 teachers who have been trained in our programs.

TESTIMONIALS

"I learned so much as a writer and teacher."
"My only critique about the Summer Institute: it was too short!"
"It was so interactive! It made me think of all the ways that I can make writing fun and engaging for the students."

"I think that offering this professional development to local schools...will help to spread the word about authentic student writing and the teaching of writing in a high stakes testing world."

A Teacher's creative writing response to the SBWP Summer Institute
Refreshing the Liberal Soul
~a haiku response to Dorie~
​
Water is precious,
an ongoing narrative,
a running thesis,
a smooth, soothing stream. . .
of consciousness, a current
flow that refreshes.
Natural resource
made from time and miracle,
a conversation.
Time, precious, is like
water, an unplanned comma,
a beautifully
diagrammed sentence,
bro-ken into its wayward parts:
fragments recomposed.
Teachers, women, for
a brief moment, one lone male—
overcomers now
seeing solutions
with hearts full of care, traverse
the seven bridges
arched over rivers
of words, thought, and hope that lead
to writing freedom.
