Staff Development Workshops
Write More Program Workshop: Ranger, Explorer or Quest
- How can I integrate writing daily for my students?
- How can I teach students to become independent writers?
- I need writing ideas and prompts for everyday - where can I find them?
- How do I teach students to organize their writing ideas before writing so that their stories flow and transition smoothly
- How do I teach students to write a rough draft based on their completed organizer?
All these questions can be answered during the Write More Writing Program Workshop. The focus of the workshop is to teach students to become independent writers. Using the Write More Portfolio, teachers learn how to teach students the components of writing - good beginnings, smooth transitions, clear organization, editing and proofing. Teachers learn how to effectively use the Write More Organizers and Rubric Pads to help students' writing stay focused. Instruction also includes the proper use of the Conferencing and Types of Writing Pad to help provide better feedback to your students.
The workshop is designed for two hours of instruction, but can easily be customized to fit your school's particular needs.

Make-it, Take-it Workshop
During this hands-on workshop, teachers design and make writing folders to integrate with Science and Social Studies objectives. Teachers cut, paste and draw creative writing activities on folders that can easily be stored and used over and over. These colorful writing folders can be used in writing centers, for whole class instruction, or in independent work areas. Teachers learn how to “think outside the box” as they develop higher level thinking writing lesson plans that test for student understanding. This workshop puts the fun back into writing for both teachers and students!
Teachers leave this workshop with writing activities in-hand and ready to use the next day! Your staff will love this workshop!
