EmPOWER Writing Institute EmPOWER is a proven method for teaching students to self-regulate their own writing process. It takes the mystery out of writing by teaching students HOW to go about constructing academic text. If you are a dedicated educator in grades 2-12 who is looking for proven instructional methods and strategies that improve student writing, this course could be for you. If you are not afraid to work hard, get excited about stretching your own learning, and enjoy working with other teachers who care deeply about their students’ literacy, this course is definitely for you. The EmPOWER Writing Institute unfolds entirely online over six months. You don’t need to travel, get a hotel, pay for parking, or even dress up. We kick off with a week of jam-packed learning in July, where we meet live online from 8:30-4:30 each day (central time) and for two hours on Thursday evening with the author of EmPOWER. It’s an intense week of learning, filled with strategies and instructional moves you can use immediately with students. We know one-stop learning isn’t effective, so we continue with on-going coaching and support through the school year while you put what you learn into play in your classroom. If you have skin in the game because you want your students to do better, join us. Registration form and more details are HERE
