Writers' Workshop Resources for Teachers

Below are some resources that teachers often request from me. If you have enjoyed my presentation at ASTE, please fill out a comment and send my way. I am working with the state of Alaska to develop a summer academy for teachers and students where they would learn the techniques my students and I have developed in our Writers' Workshop class. Please let me know if you are interested in attending.

Summer Academy Idea

I enjoy working with teachers. One week I had a random fit of inspiration and put together a proposal for a summer teachers' academy that stands a chance of receiving funding.
