Description

Teaching any subject can be a difficult task, and teaching writing has its own set of unique challenges. There aren’t any formulas or diagrams for teaching writing to students, and getting students to write in a meaningful way can be a daunting task in and of itself. This is because good writing isn’t only about grammar but also knowing how to make your writing shine and how to think creatively.

In this course, Teaching Writing Is Hard, Until It Isn’t, experienced educator and published author Shannon Anderson gives tips and tricks for ways you can empower your students with new writing techniques and get them in the flow of writing. You’ll learn how to create an engaging prompt for your students to write about and how to create a plan for your students’ continued writing growth, among other things. Any educator, whether you enjoy writing or it’s your least favorite part of the day, will benefit from this in-depth course.

In this 1-hour course, participants will learn:

  • Why teaching writing can be difficult
  • A training plan that will help your students write meaningfully
  • What makes a great prompt
  • How to structure your writing block

  1. Hilary – BURLESON ISD (verified owner)

    I enjouyed the presenter. She was engaging and kept me interested in what she was teaching me.

  2. CHERYL – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner)

    I teach seniors and I thought this was a very good refresher. If every student went through this process, they would be good, thoughtful writers.

  3. Lorrie – ANGLETON ISD (verified owner)

    Great Ideas for writing

  4. Patricia – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner)

    A variety of ways to integrate writing as well as build student confidence and interest

    I love this presenter! This was such a fun, engaging course and I learned a lot!

  6. Amy – GOOSE CREEK CISD (verified owner)

    Ms. Anderson uses an outline that is easy to follow and she shares practical examples that can be used immediately in the classroom.

  7. Karen – RIESEL ISD (verified owner)

    I can’t wait to implement these awesome strategies in my classroom!

  8. Cara – ROCK HILL LOCAL (verified owner)

    I was really impressed at the practical skills this training taught and the citing of specific ideas for how to implement them. I found ideas that I can apply even in a high school ELA classroom (or that I can adapt to one) and I wish all elementary students could experience this type of writing instruction before they came up to our high school. Even Shannon’s mindset on thinking through why she teaches certain things in certain ways reflected some threshold concepts in teaching writing that I don’t often encounter with my dedicated elementary teacher colleagues.

  9. Nora – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Great Course

  10. Deanna – GOOSE CREEK CISD (verified owner)

    There are many amazing ideas in this course. I teach 7th grade, though, and many of the ideas need to be changed to work for middle school. This course really seems more geared toward elementary.

    I really enjoyed this course. I have used some of the strategies included but there are many more ideas that I would like to try. I could definitely tell that the speaker has spent a lot of time with children and knows how a classroom works. The ideas that she presented would easily fit into a classroom and I know would benefit writing.
