Write Way Self-Paced Course ✏️
$147 $67
Teaching writing is hard because writing is hard (and vulnerable).
It’s also hard because most education programs put it on the backburner and so we’re thrown into the classroom and told, “Your students need to complete at least 3 essays this year” and we’re left scratching our heads like “Okayyy, but how do we get them there?”
Because right now, it looks like they can’t even put together a complete sentence. But you didn’t sign up to teach elementary. So where do you go from here?
I have a knack for getting students who "won't do work" in other classes to at the very least try in mine. And at the very most, end up outperforming what they thought they could do themselves.
My secret sauce: Empathy first, and then making sure content is in-reach, relatable, rigorous, and has a touch of razzle-dazzle ✨
I spent the past decade of my life teaching secondary ELA and I was ecstatic when I mastered getting students to actually complete written assignments, to understand the components of a well-structured essay, and to be more confident in their academic abilities.
Not only did my students perform well in class, but several of my students also went on to achieve 100s in the state English EOCs, due in part to their overall rockstar-ness, but also in part to the strategies and formulas I reviewed over and over, and over, with them.
But it wasn't always that way...for a long time I struggled with:
😩 Wanting to rip my hair out from seeing blank docs or nothing at all being submitted
😩 Spending wayyy too much time grading/giving feedback that was just lost in the wind (and then moving on because they didn't care by the time feedback was given)
😩 Getting frustrated when their writing kept being basic and blah, and avoiding grading altogether
😩 Trying to go backwards after I realized they couldn't write a decent essay because they didn't know how to write a decent paragraph
😩 Spending buckets of time covering writing terms and MLA format and hoping something would stick
😩 Only assigning writing tasks when I realized I needed an essay in the gradebook (once a week or month or quarter) because I hated the idea of even having to tell them I needed them to write something
😩 Only assigning serious and rigid writing tasks that were boring for students to write and even more boring for me to read
😩 Not writing with my students but expecting them to know what I wanted
Does any of that sound familiar? Don't worry girl, we've all been there! But if you're ready to feel excited and confident when it comes to teaching writing and assigning writing tasks, keep reading 🤓
In Write Way, I guide you through all the strategies needed to successfully cover writing skills with your students and go from a yawn-inducing, dread-filled, nails-on-board experience to an enjoyable, community-feel, hands-on one.
The activities provided will help you creatively cover everything from teaching students to write juicy, powerful, descriptive sentences to rich, relevant, evidence-filled paragraphs, to organized, succinct essays that just flow. I know you've tried everything and feel exhausted; come try things my way and feel refreshed, with motivation renewed.
