Eleven farmers have intensively planted cover crops in Minnesota’s Rice Creek watershed since 2018 and are now seeing improved stream health, fish habitat, water quality, and farm profits as a result. Specifically, monitoring of Rice Creek and the watershed shows that cover crops on 27% of tillable acres are keeping 9000 pounds of nitrate and 200,000 pounds of sediment out of the creek every year. You can feel the energy around work in this small watershed. Participants say momentum grew over time, often unevenly, but has built because committed farmers, community members with interest in the stream, local colleges, county Soil & Water Conservation District staff, supportive state and federal government programs, and Cannon River Watershed Partnership, a local nonprofit group dedicated to the river and watershed, have connected and communicated. Al Kraus, conservation program manager for Cannon River Watershed Partnership, says participating farmers have advanced the situation on their own, but they also appreciate the shared work that’s made change less risky, more socially acceptable, and even fun. Tim Little has farmed in Rice Creek and adjacent watersheds for many years, and is passionate about the value of cover crops and building soil health. When he started using cover crops in 2013, his seed dealer, TJ Kartes, suggested he ask a few neighbors to get together and talk about cover crops, to share what they’re learning. Since then seven neighbors have gathered a few times a year. They also buy and apply seed together, share what they’re learning informally, and mentor others. “I would never go back!” says Tim. Driven by community interest, St. Olaf College led a monitoring project in 2013 that established a baseline for measuring improvement in stream health and water quality over time. The local, on-farm data is valued by producers and can impact decisions. Faculty Paul Jackson and Kathy Shea have deep knowledge and experience with agriculture, and with their students continue to monitor nutrient loss and retention and stream conditions. In the process students expand their perspectives about agriculture and the environment. Monitoring of various kinds is also provided by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Rice SWCD and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Consistent leadership and positive, long-term relationships with producers have positioned Rice SWCD as a respected community partner, one that delivers important services like grant management, cost-share funding, water sampling, on-farm technical assistance, and other services. Together these people accomplish more than they could do alone. How does it all come together? Cannon River Watershed Partnership is the hub. Al Kraus connects with people, notices needs and innovations, structures peer-to-peer exchanges and gatherings, brings in partners and funding, and communicates constantly to expand a growing local trend to practices that build soil health, retain nutrients and soil, improve fish habitat and water quality, and increase the resilience and farm success. Now, because Tim Little and others who are catalysts own land in adjacent watersheds, and because momentum is there to expand, CRWP is planning a second phase of this work in two adjacent watersheds.

Historically and in recent years, the National Writing Project has focused its efforts on supporting the teaching of writing in low-income and underserved schools, districts, and communities. NWP's i3 College-Ready Writers Program (CRWP) grant supported 12 writing project sites in providing professional development in 22 rural school districts. Specifically, this work focused on improving the teaching of source-based argument writing and engaging young people in writing high-quality, source-based arguments in school. This work continues through the CRWP SEED Advanced Institutes and the CRWP in High-Need Schools grants. These grant programs continue NWP's commitment to equity and social justice by supporting teachers and students in economically poor communities. Join three NWP leaders as we discuss the value and importance of NWP work in high-need schools, and how the CRWP resources can support that work.

Join members of the College-Ready Writers Program (CRWP) leadership team as they discuss how CRWP materials and principles encourage students to treat opposing views with respect and generosity. Students who write from CRWP materials start with an inquiry stance towards an issue and revisit their opinion in light of multiple, often opposing points of view. Such experiences for students are designed to create a classroom culture that values civil discourse and supports students in becoming effective participants in civic communities. This hangout is produced in support of Letters to the Next President 2.0, a project engaging youth in civic participation in issues and topic that matter to them in the US Presidential Election. It will also be co-streamed at connectedlearning.tv. http://educatorinnovator.org/webinars/arguing-the-crwp-way-establishing-a-classroom-climate-for-inquiry-and-generosity/

Educators from NWP's College-Ready Writers Program (CRWP), who participated in an online version of a lesson study of two CRWP mini-units, talk about how the structure of the lesson study has impacted their practice, their experience with teaching the mini-units in their classrooms, and their experience with participating in the online community.

We were joined by three teacher-leaders from NWP's College-Ready Writers Program (CRWP) for a discussion about Extended Research Argument and its role in empowering students to be positive, active, solution-oriented citizens. Our guests also talked about the CRWP resources developed to teach argument writing.
