As we return to school after months of remote learning, more than ever, we understand the value of instructional time. Regardless of the scenario – in-person learning, a hybrid model, or distance learning – our students need to write! During this session, teachers will explore how to use writing to:
- maximize instructional time
- ensure a continued focus on content
- help students construct meaning in all areas of the curriculum
During this session, Karen will provide teachers with many prompt ideas and mentor text suggestions.
