Professional Development for Teachers
Empowering Writers’ professional development gives you the power to choose your writing course, then decide how you want to learn about it with options for in-person training at your school, live Zoom workshop sessions, or on-demand courses throughout the year.
PD options include foundational writing skills development, Narrative and Informational writing genres, Editing and Revising, Constructed Response and “Getting Ready to Write” K-1 workshop for the youngest of writers. Empowering Writers’ PD delivers easy-to-follow instruction that clearly outlines the necessary steps to support both your teaching mastery and your students’ writing success.
This valuable, full day of structured learning is available to you live (via Zoom classroom), or through on-demand instructional courses that you can watch, replay and access on your own time, or live and in-person as part of your writing curriculum and PD requirements. You’ll even get a digital guidebook and reflection sheet to accompany your training day.
