We encourage teachers to determine the workshop best suited to them based on the criteria, practices, and standards of the district and/or state in which they teach. All of our workshops use literature and/or published pieces of writing as a basis for instruction and have a powerful built-in vocabulary building component. We share numerous examples of actual student writing and related enrichment projects.

You Come to Us!
We host at least two workshops each month, August - June, in Connecticut and North Carolina. All workshops are approximately 5.5 hours. See our schedule and registration form for dates and workshop descriptions. Registration fee is payable in advance by check, credit card or purchase order.
