Writing as a Discipline Grades 6-12

November 17, 2009, January 12, and March 18, 2010

8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. each session

Concerned about writing instruction? Looking for ways to engage students as writers? Here is an opportunity to research and explore best practice, reflect on personal beliefs, discuss curriculum, and collaborate with other interested educators. Together, we will investigate current literature and practice, align with state expectations and develop models of instruction to support student development as writers through intentional instruction. This series will blend face to face and online activities.

Essential questions to be addressed:

What are the essential components of quality writing instruction? What does it look like in an effective classroom?
What is the difference between teaching the writing and teaching the writer?
How can I work more effectively with individual writers?
How can I assess writing effectively and still have a life?

Cost: $50 (cost includes three sessions, lunches, materials)
