Join a former K-12 leader with experience in classroom teaching, school administration, and district leadership, for a straightforward discussion on “writing to learn,” a proven approach that can improve student outcomes and support district wide goals.
This webinar will address the power of “writing to learn” for district leaders who want to shift practices to those that build critical thinking, strengthen communication skills, and prepare students for state assessments.
District leadership will discuss:
- Low-Stakes Writing: Build students’ confidence and provide district leaders with valuable growth data.
- “Writing to Learn” Activities: Help students think through the central concepts of courses without taking up too much class time.
- A Districtwide Focus on Writing: Establish a central writing location, analyze individual and cohort data, and leverage student success stories to effectively tell your district’s literacy achievements.
