An In Perspective article on the National Writing Project in the Aug. 27, 2008, issue of Education Week gave an incorrect figure for the number of educators the program serves. Some 90,000 participants attend the project’s workshops and events annually. Also, the source for the accompanying chart was incorrect; the information was provided by local chapters of the writing project, each of which conducted the studies in the nine districts participating in the evaluation of the program.
