WRITING ROCKS!
WRITING ROCKS and teaching writing double rocks! There is no better way to engage students in their own lives and the world around them than through writing. Doing so is an energizing and fulfilling experience for students and teachers alike. We’ll begin with a solid foundation of structures (especially writers’ workshop), process (with an emphasis on revision), and a common language (Six Traits). Then, we’ll add evidence-based strategies and practical activities to transform your K-8 classroom into a dynamic and supportive community where every student finds success, whatever the standards may be.
The instructor is Robert Young, experienced classroom teacher (25 years), curriculum specialist (10 years), writing consultant (13 years), and children’s book author (26 books). Robert has worked in schools as near as his neighborhood school and as far as Argentina.
