NCTE’s CoLEARN program is an online inquiry model designed to promote professional development for K–12 teachers. Through a structured yet flexible series of readings and writings, teachers reflect on their own beliefs about writing and writing instruction, learn new strategies for teaching writing, and investigate how student writers respond best to various approaches.

CoLEARN offers teachers a number of options for professional development:

• Professional Readings with over 2,000 full-text articles from NCTE’s many journals and books, searchable by title, author, or topic of inquiry.
• Reading Invitations include links to full text articles with accompanying questions to stimulate discussion.
• Writing Engagements invite teachers to respond to a specific prompt about some aspect of writing pedagogy.
• Online Communities provide teachers with the opportunity to discuss their readings, writings,and reflections on teaching with interested teachers
  in their own school or across the country.
