Writer’s Workshop Boot Camp Mini Course

Many teachers ask me how I get my students to write. What’s my secret? How do I fit it into the already jam-packed school day? It’s all about having the right resources, and tools and knowing how to organize and manage Writer’s Workshop in any classroom. I don’t know about you but I haven’t had any formal training or professional development in writing so I had to do some learning for myself and find the tools and resources I needed for my students to be successful. So, since I found what works to transform students into writers and actually like writing, I’m sharing it with others. I created a 7-day Writer’s Workshop Boot Camp that will give you all my tips, tricks, and resources to help you transform your students into writers. It’s particularly for the elementary classroom with a focus on differentiating the resources to make it work for the grade(s) you teach. You must keep differentiation in mind because there is no “one size fits all” way to teach writing.

Here’s a Sneak Peek:
