Reading Time: 3 minutes Anne Walden teaches writing in the context of her work as Gifted Facilitator at Rousseau and McPhee Elementary Schools here in Lincoln, the city where she’s taught for over two decades. For over half that time, Anne has been a major contributor to the Nebraska Writing Project. She’s served as Co-Director and on the Advisory Board. She has facilitated almost all our institutes—a Summer Institute and Embedded Institute at Papillion-La Vista, the Humanities and Literature Institutes, and our occasional Leadership Institute. Her real passion, though, is sponsoring teachers’ growth through their own writing—something she currently accomplishes through the Lincoln Writing Group which meets every two weeks almost all year long, and through the Fall Writing Retreats at Platte River State Park which she’s co-facilitated with Jeff Grinvalds for the last two years. Anne Walden helps us all grow the contexts that keep us writing.
