Detailed Workshop Description:
Join fellow writing teachers and Angela Stockman for a one day workshop that will help you plan a rewarding writing workshop experience for the new year!
Whether you are a writing workshop veteran in search of new approaches and next practices or a teacher who is brand new to this work, you will leave the day with a fresh curriculum plan and teaching strategies that will elevate your instruction and help you move even the most struggling writers forward. You will also leave with a copy of Angela’s book, Make Writing, and a wealth of print and digital resources that will sustain your efforts throughout the year.
Session Outcomes:
- Teachers will be introduced to an elegant framework that will enable the design of a high quality curriculum that can, if needed, live well beside or in alignment with other programs in minimal time.
- They will explore varied applications of this model at work in K-12 classrooms, which they may choose to adopt or adapt, if they wish.
- They will unpack the most promising research-based practices for teaching writing well, and they will also develop strategies that will help them intervene effectively when writers struggle.
- They will examine the connection between making and writing and learn how to help even the most resistant writers fall in love with this process and produce work that is of real influence in the world.
- They will engage in a meaningful self-assessment that will help them leave with clear goals and an action plan to move their learning and work forward.
