ABSTRACT
Teachers working with each other became the norm and a strong sense of collaboration was born. Teachers could take the ideas and activities from workshop presentations and apply them in a technical sense in their classrooms, but the way in which they were applied did not necessarily reflect what those ideas and activities meant in a deeper sense. The staff were virtually inundated with workshop activity, some closely related to what they were doing, others of a more esoteric nature. The principal and staff made visits to other schools who were working with 'The Young Writers Project'. In addition, the teachers had now begun to set up networks that provided additional sources of information. Staff members who had been sitting on the sidelines could see the effect of the change all around them and most of them became eager to share in what was taking place.
