Teachers: Join me in exploring the powerful context of Writing Workshop!

If you’re looking for ideas for engaging your students in writing or you’re interested in learning (more) about the potential of Writing Workshop, this course is for you. Your students from 2nd through 10th grade deserve to engage in meaningful writing opportunities in order to build their toolboxes in generative ways.

You’ll learn about supporting writers through practices that include writer talks, planting seeds in writer’s notebooks, writing minilessons, independent writing, writing conferences, guided writing, and sharing time. Learn about 5 types of writing minilessons, and engage with multiple clear and concise examples. I’ll demonstrate minilessons that utilize mentor texts as models of writing behaviors, and we’ll explore several anchor charts created in classrooms. We will explore the writing process and you’ll learn about tools that support writers as they learn to take risks and develop their understandings relative to craft, conventions, genre, and the writing process.

Writing Workshop offers opportunities for teachers to meet the needs of writers within various groupings: whole group minilessons, small group guided writing, and one on one conferences, and we’ll explore each. I’ll share a range of tools that include a writing process work board, a writing conference form, and a list of writer’s notebook prompts that you can download and use tomorrow. I’ll also share lots of examples based on over 25 years of experience teaching writers of all ages and teachers of writers as well!

You’ll find this course to be engaging, clear, informative, and practical. Whether you’ve never taught writing within a workshop approach or you’ve been teaching many years and wish to add something new to your repertoire, you’ll gain new insights from our professional learning sessions.
