For the past six years I've been a full-time staff developer and a national consultant with the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, where I help urban, suburban, and rural schools implement exceptional literacy instruction through reading and writing workshops.

8:30-3:00pm
This session is a continuation of “Launching Writer’s Workshop,” which was presented at the VRI Summer Institute in August 2009 and again in Montpelier in October 2010. Participants are asked to bring their own writer’s notebooks as well as student work samples to share. On day one, we will follow up on work with the writer’s notebook—debriefing on participants’ efforts to implement writer’s notebooks, collaboratively troubleshooting about that implementation process and focusing on strategies for moving from the notebook to drafting to going public with finished pieces of writing. We will try out strategies for finding seed ideas in the notebook, developing / expanding those ideas, and drafting. We will explore the role/responsibilities of the teacher and students in each phase of this process. On day two, we will focus on revision and editing strategies. We’ll explore the research and practices on teaching students about the conventions of language so that their writing achieves its purpose and has the desired impact on their intended audience.
