Creative Escape & Connection (section 1)

The middle school years bring unique challenges, and our Creative Escape & Connection program meets the needs of students in the midst of this formative time. TIWP creates a supportive environment for students to escape into the creative writing process, where they can be playful and find joy in the stories and worlds they create. We also provide a safe space for students to address the challenges they may be facing through the writing process. Teachers encourage and model authenticity, peer support, and self confidence. Each session involves an inspirational reading, a writing prompt, and time to share and receive feedback.

We adhere to the Amherst Writing Method, a methodology rooted in the belief that everyone is a writer, and that all feedback be positive and encouraging.​
