In this professional learning experience, educators learn effective instructional practices for teaching writing. Participants will explore and experience culturally responsive approaches in which teachers use high-quality literature to guide students through the writing process.

Experience structures for teaching genre, process, craft, and conventions within a writer’s workshop
Learn equitable instructional approaches to cultivate student voice and build competent independent writers
Deepen knowledge around research-based practices for writing instruction, conferring, and on-going assessment
