One of the greatest obstacles teachers face is when students become overly dependent on their guidance. When students can write with greater independence, it will ultimately develop their stamina, volume, and, eventually, quality of work. How do we strategically plan for each student’s growth and independence? On this day, teachers will study strategic scaffolding and learn ways to deliberately plan for repeated practice and release of control over time. Whether working with our most fragile learners or those who just need a gentle nudge, this will give writers the wings they need to do their greatest work (eventually without you!). Register here.
