| Description | | “I don’t know how to teach writing effectively.”
“There’s never enough time to work on writing every day.”
“What do I do with students who can’t write?”
“How do we help students be more successful on the new NSCAS writing items?”
Sound familiar? The Write Tools Workshop addresses these challenges—and many more. Join this workshop for a fun, interactive experience that removes the guesswork from writing instruction. You’ll learn an explicit, systematic approach to teaching writing that can be immediately implemented in your classroom that works for all learners, at all levels, in all subjects.
Packed with practical strategies and hands-on learning, these two days fly by as you collaborate and learn alongside fellow educators. You’ll leave saying, “This is easy! This is fun! Why didn’t someone tell me this sooner?”
Writing Strategies that Drive Measurable Results
Time allocated for literacy instruction must include intentional writing instruction. In this interactive session, educators will move beyond simply assigning writing and learn how to purposefully teach the skills students need to become effective, confident writers. Using scaffolded, standards-aligned approaches, teachers will discover practical strategies that build student success and increase teacher confidence.
Participants will explore easy-to-implement techniques that can be adapted across all grade levels, all content areas, and all literacy programs—which lead to measurable growth. Whether students are struggling or thriving, you’ll leave with tools that support every learner’s development as a writer.
The first day lays the foundation for creating a common language around writing, and includes sentence building strategies, as well as tools that will help students be successful with each step of the writing process, from planning to revising. From kindergarten to high school, this writing routine creates confident, independent writers.
The second day adds the close reading strategies; including responding to text, highlighting informational text, summarizing, note-taking and more. These tools help students understand text structure, learning that the way we write is the way we read, and the way we read is the way we write. These strategies are for everyone from your non-readers to your advanced readers.
By the end of the two days, you’ll be saying, “I can do this! This makes sense! Why didn’t someone show me this a long time ago?!” |
