Your final slice of #SOL25!
It's Tuesday! Come slice with us today.
At my NCTE presentation, I shared strategies for boosting writing engagement, using the ICEL Framework as a guide. Some key recommendations include increasing involuntary student participation, being flexible with curriculum demands, fostering a supportive writing community, and getting to know students as writers and people.
Welcome to Tuesday's Slice of Life!
As we crawl toward winter break, it’s worth remembering that writing isn’t just something we teach; it’s something that can refill us. This post explores simple, meaningful ways to reconnect with your own writing life.
How can we prepare for the complexity of writing instruction and the roadblocks for students? We can create question sequences that help us prepare for the side-by-side conversations as writers develop and create.
For years, I wondered why students weren’t applying word study, reading, or writing strategies across the day—until a mentor asked me a simple question and everything clicked. Here's how you can bring that clarity to your classroom, too.
Join us today for a Tuesday slice! #SOL25
Discover how picture books about moving, belonging, and new beginnings can help students find their voice as writers and build empathy in the classroom.
If you teach with curriculum that isn’t workshop based, but know that those missing workshop elements would increase your students’ writing development, then it’s time to “workshopify” the curriculum!
Writing Workshop helped me rediscover my love for writing and the importance of being a teacher who writes. This post explores the barriers that hold us back and the small shifts that help us show up as present writers. If you’ve ever said “Yes, but…,” this is for you.
It's #GivingTuesday! Join us in the generosity of shared stories.
