Summer's Pace

English teachers always seem to be pressed for time. Between lesson planning, grading papers, and doing “life” – there is an undercurrent of frantic stress that moves us through our days with a certain degree of inertia.

It’s summer … but time still ticks too quickly for some of us.

All too often I hear from teachers wanting to enroll in my Masterclass or take my 1:1 course, but it always comes down to time. 

There’s never enough of it.

And this is exactly why I built the self-paced course.

Even though there will be two more Masterclass sessions this summer, some teachers just feel as if they can’t free themselves up in spite of truly wanting to. Later next week, we will open the enrollment doors for the first session that will run from July 12^th – 16^th for five consecutive days from 11 a.m. EST to noon followed by Q&A. I will also run a session in August.

But for those that can’t make it, the self-paced course just might be the perfect PD opportunity to get you rejuvenated and reinvigorated before a new school year is upon us.

In fact, for most of us, we will be returning to “normal” whereby we see our students face-to-face instead of from behind screens.

The self-paced course can ensure that you’ll be equipped with all the necessary tools to be a stellar writing instructor.

In a nutshell, here’s what you can expect from the course:

· Ten instructional video lessons that will demonstrate for you how to implement the three templates of the syllogistic method as well as the declarative and inverted thesis into your classroom practices

· Detailed instruction on how to build your student writers from the ground up while equipping them with the necessary tools of grammar, punctuation, and syntax in order to cultivate rhythm, flow, and voice

· Detailed instruction with plenty of exemplars and models on how to apply the templates to each of the expository modes (literary analysis, rhetorical analysis, synthesis, argument, persuasion, research)

· In-depth instruction teaching you my “Bob Ross” approach to implementing my unique and effective templates of the syllogistic method as well as the declarative and inverted thesis

· 1-Year access to a growing library of 150+ video writing workshops (similar to the Free Fundamental Writing Workshops) that will take you step-by-step through the process of implementing the three methods I am going to teach you using the relevant literature and/or expository mode you are teaching to

· Access to over 150 PowerPoint presentations that walk you through the use of the highly effective writing methods taught in the Masterclass that can be customized and used as a powerful guide and teaching tool in the classroom

· Access to 40 alternative grading methods that will alleviate the burdens and demands of grading essays and enable your students to grow and mature as writers

· Test prep writing workshops for both AP Literature and AP Language dating back to 2015 to the present

· A complementary copy of my textbook Teaching Teachers How To Teach Writing to serve as a further point of reference

· A one-hour Q&A Zoom session should you have any inquiries
