2014 Teacher Institute
These two-day institutes for elementary and middle/high school will focus on the pedagogy of teaching various writing styles in the classroom. By providing mentor texts, direct instruction, and an opportunity to write, participants will experience the classroom as their students do. Workshop discussions will focus on lesson quality, craft elements and connections to state/national curriculum. Participants will write and share their work in each genre. The writing workshop style emphasizes writing craft, the role of the teacher as model, the power of mentor texts. Participants should expect to leave with their own models, sample lesson plans, and lessons designed with their own classroom in mind.
