Reader-Writer Workshop Series
Grades 6-8
Are you relatively new to the workshop model or looking to refresh and refine your workshop strategies and techniques? If so, please join us for this series, which will provide the necessary tools to implement and effectively manage Lucy Calkins Readers and Writers Units of Study. Each session is designed to support a manageable structure to successfully and strategically develop and enhance a workshop classroom.
Update: The 2019-2020 Reader Writer Workshop series will now be a combination of all three grade levels (K-2, 3-5 & 6-8). This will allow for vertical conversations between grade levels, while still being able to meet your individual needs!
