Cultivating Writing Schoolwide: Secondary (2025–26)
The Cultivating Writing Schoolwide: Secondary Community of Practice engages and empowers participants with foundational knowledge and strategies to increase skills and confidence in writing as a powerful tool in a 21st-century learning environment. Educators across all discipline areas will gain strategies for teaching the writing process, building an understanding of the academic modes of writing (persuasive, expository, narrative, and descriptive), and writing for a range of academic purposes. Participants will explore the power of metacognitive writing to cultivate literacy and student agency, focusing on primary and intermediate learning environments. This collaborative experience allows educators, regardless of familiarity with writing instruction, to explore strategies to help students access rigorous content and write like content experts.
