Whether you’re new to writing workshop or an experienced writing workshop teacher, we invite you to come and join us. We’ll offer a number of different kinds of writing experiences as we write and workshop our writing in small groups, modeling processes and tools you can use in your classroom. We’ll explore and share the writing we’re doing with our students (K-university) and discuss our approaches to integrating technology, writing conferences, and meaningful feedback and assessment. We’ll conclude with an opportunity to generate new ideas and possibilities for writing together.
