Also known as: LIFT 3-6 Part II.
Learn how to lead a well-structured, efficient writing workshop in the upper-elementary classroom.
Use methods and resources developed by Dr. Lucy Calkins, founder of Teachers College Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University.
Participants will explore Units of Study for Teaching Writing, Grades 3-5, by Dr. Calkins, to learn how to create strong, efficient writing workshops in their upper-elementary classrooms. They will learn how to organize a carefully crated spiraling series of lessons to teach narrative and expository writing so that students will write with increasing power, detail, clarity, and focus, and will be encouraged to create their own sequenced writing lessons by using examples of mini-lessons, dialogue, mentor texts, and other advice from expert teacher and researcher Lucy Calkins. Topics will include: Raising the quality of narrative writing, breathing life into essays, writing fiction, literary essays and memoirs, the art of conferring, and strategies for revising. Prerequisites: This course has been designed for alumni who were certificated in LIFT 3-6 or LIFT for the Struggling Reader before 2007, when training in Lucy Calkins was not included. Other classroom teachers, special education teachers, and literacy
specialists who teach in grades 3-6 are also welcome. Participants should currently be teaching one or more groups of students in writing.
AUDIENCE: Grades 3-6 classroom teachers, special education teachers, and literacy specialists
