Learning Opportunities

How do we decide what and what not to teach? With increased expectations and so little time to meet them, we might heed the words of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bob Seger, who asks us to carefully consider our "deadlines and commitments—what to leave in, what to leave out." In this morning, Kelly will discuss critical decisions that underpin artful teaching, and how these decisions help to move young writers closer to excellence.  The afternoon will focus on the key components essential to building young writers: volume, modeling, choice, and conferring. Kelly will share numerous strategies proven to elevate student writing across the curriculum.
