Bring the whole team and the Principal comes for free!
Have you lost your passion for teaching writing or not found it yet? Has writing become more of a predictable performance and less of an art? Do your students groan when it’s time to write because they see writing as filling in simple outlines or following prescribed formulas instead of discovering their own unique voices? Do your students see elaboration as just adding more stuff because they are supposed to?
If so, you might need a Writing Reboot: a one day class where you, think, write, and learn dozens of ways to create a class of real writers who elaborate their ideas and craft real meaning in whatever genre they write.
Come to Writing Reboot Camp if you want to:
If this workshop doesn't ignite your passion for teaching writing you might want to make sure you have a fuse!
