About this workshops:

In this two-day workshop, Carl Anderson and Matt Glover, the authors of the best-selling How to Become a Better Writing Teacher and many other books on teaching writing, will give you the support you need to help your students become truly engaged—and achieve at a high level as writers. ?During the day, Carl and Matt will discuss:

• ? An overview of the six pillars of engagement and how aligning instruction to them creates the conditions for engagement
• ? Strategies for increasing student engagement, including:
  • Removing roadblocks to engagement by teaching your students strategies they need to navigate each step of the writing process and work independently across the writing process
  • Creating mentor-mentee relationships with students
    • By making time for 1:1 writing conferences that give you the opportunity to differentiate writing instruction for your students
    • By sharing your own writing (your “process texts”) that position you as your students’ writing mentor
  • Teaching with highly-engaging mentor texts:
    • Selecting mentor texts that reflect student interests and backgrounds
    • “Immersing” students in mentor texts at the beginning of writing units to get students excited about the units and initiate discussions about the craft techniques and conventions contained in the texts
    • Teaching the craft of writing and conventions with mentor texts in whole and small group lessons, and 1:1 writing conferences
  • Teaching responsively to students’ needs as writers, making your teaching more relevant and interesting to students
  • Helping students find meaningful audiences for their writing so that it feels authentic and purposeful
  • Teaching students about engagement: how to self-monitor for engagement and know what to do when they’re not feeling engaged

Across the workshop, participants will have opportunities to see and discuss video of Carl and Matt demonstrating high-engagement teaching practices, as well as participate in activities that will give them experience with these practices.
