New to teaching and feeling uncertain about how to best incorporate writing into the curriculum? Writing that kids love? These single-day sessions will provide new (0-5 years) upper elementary, middle, and high school ELA teachers with a number of practical, evidence-based, and high-leverage writing strategies that are both powerful and engaging. Participants will learn a number of strategies aligned with the 2014 Nebraska ELA standards, including a special emphasis on text-dependent analysis (TDA).
