We began implementing Empowering Writers in Bryant two years ago. Empowering Writers provides rich literacy instruction that guides students as both readers and writers. Our teachers benefited greatly from the excellent professional development alongside the digital guides that Empowering Writers organized to match our district needs. The accessible, sustainable lessons found in the HUB instill confidence in teachers which transfers into quality, systematic, and explicit instruction. The improvements in our students' language comprehension, text analysis, constructed response, and writing skills were immeasurable!

With countless years of combined classroom experience, we know the importance of hands-on training and professional development for every writing and ELA teacher. We design our extensive on-site and online programs to help teachers provide a consistent and effective learning experience focused on the writing discipline.
And, you can find it all with Empowering Writers.
Are you looking to improve students' writing, but don't have the time or budget, or opportunity to bring everyone together for traditional professional development? Empowering Writers' Digital Suite provides teachers with all of the critical background information they need to be a successful writing teacher. The Hub provides your teachers with all of the great background information from our full-day workshops, coaching videos, and digital tools for the classroom to transform writing instruction.
Benefits of The Hub for school districts include:

Just wanted you to know that my 4th-grade team officially announced that we had the highest TAKS scores for Writing in the El Paso Independent School District. This data speaks volumes since our school is a Title 1 campus. I have shared what I do with my team, and the results speak for themselves.

Empowering Writers is why we are an exemplary writing school. EW made all the difference.
- Jeaneen Tucker, School Principal
Students who scored a 1/1 on their open response writing last year are now scoring a 3/3. These scores are a huge improvement, especially when I have only been doing these writing activities for three months – we already see a rise in scores. I have never, in my ten years of teaching, had a group of kids more excited to write!
- Melissa Zeitz, Special Education
At long last, teachers have a systematic, comprehensive approach to targeted techniques necessary for "good writing," even for our youngest writers.
