Description:

This one-day professional development is designed for leaders and instructional coaches leading evidence-based writing instruction across schools and districts. The session will begin with an overview of Joan Sedita’s The Writing Rope, A Framework for Explicit Writing Instruction in All Subjects. Based on research findings, the framework organizes effective writing instruction practices into five strands. Next, participants will learn about Keys to Early Writing, a practical course that provides the background knowledge needed to teach the components of beginning writing instruction. The instructional suggestions are developmentally appropriate for young children in kindergarten through grade 2, and easily transfer to classroom lessons that can be integrated with any writing curriculum or published writing program. In conclusion, participants will learn about Keys to Content Writing, professional development for research-based best practices for writing instruction that can be integrated in any subject and aligned to state literacy standards.

Who Should Attend:

Grade K-12 leaders, administrators and literacy coaches, who want to learn more about how to lead research-based writing instruction.

Materials:

Included in registration, each participant will receive a copy of Keys to Content Writing, Keys to Early Writing, and The Writing Framework: A Framework for Explicit Writing Instruction.
