staff development programs to fit your school's particular needs
Write More Program Workshop: Ranger, Explorer or Quest
The focus of the workshop is to teach students to become independent writers. Using the Write More Portfolios, 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 Rubrics to help students' writing stay focused. Write More specialists will provide valuable insight on how to create a classroom environment conducive to writing fun and enjoyment for both students and teachers.
Make-it, Take-it Workshop
During this hands-on workshop, teachers design and make writing folders to integrate with Science and Social Studies objectives. Writing folders can be used in writing centers, for whole class instruction, or independent work areas. Teachers learn how to use writing as a way to test for student understanding. Teachers leave this workshop with writing activities in hand and ready to use the next day! Your staff will love this workshop!
