Research-Based Strategies to Ignite Student Writing

Transform the writing block from an isolated chore into a school-wide culture of expression. Grounded in the What Works Clearinghouse practice guide, Dr. Erin McNeill leads a masterclass in the four pillars of effective writing: integrating writing into math, science, and social studies, the gradual release of the writing process, and building a classroom community where every student sees themselves as an author. Leave with a concrete blueprint for 60 minutes of daily student writing. For educators and instructional leaders in grades 3-12; ESC and CIESC member discounts available when registering with a school email address.
