How often has the following scenario played out in your life …
You devote an entire weekend to grading an endless stack of essays …
You squeeze countless comments into the margins of your student’s essays offering endless feedback and encouragement …
But on the very next weekend that you sacrifice just to grade a new stack … your students have not grown or matured a single bit as far as their writing acumen goes … and you see the same compositional glitches over and over and over again.
This narrative is old … Because there is a far more effective and purposeful way to teach secondary ELA.
In my Teach It “Write” Symposium, teachers learn how to equip their students with 3 groundbreaking templates that allow writers to absolutely flourish and take off. Everything from a student’s line of reason to their voice, rhythm, and flow is honed and perfected.
But let’s talk about getting your weekends and evenings back.
The Teach It “Write” Symposium will demonstrate that one of the most futile things ELA teachers do is engage in traditional grading methods. Not only are these approaches a ginormous time suck, but they actually preclude students from growing and maturing as writers.
The symposium will give teachers a new outlook on how to tackle the endless heap of essays we always “need” to grade while also focusing on how to sculpt competent and adept student writers.
The Teach It “Write” symposium is a five-week course that will begin this Sunday at 7 p.m. EST and be held live in Zoom. We will explore how to build student writers from the ground up so that each and every student is college and career ready.
