Effective Writing Strategies

Workshop Duration: 2 - 4 hours

Many teachers feel that they were never properly taught how to teach students to write. Teaching writing doesn’t come easy and can be a challenge; it is a process and takes time.  According to the National Education Statistics, there are roughly only 25 percent of students testing as proficient in writing. By the time students enter middle and high school, they’re expected to write “multi-paragraph essays containing formal introductions, arguments with supporting evidence, and conclusions.”  How do we help our writers develop ideas for writing? How can teachers make organizing writing more concrete for students? This workshop is designed to help simplify writing instruction to help your students become successful writers. You will leave the course with the practical knowledge and resources that will not only empower your writing instruction.
