January 29th Writing Workshop

Educator Panel Shares Successful Teaching Approaches

Which teaching strategies are most likely to help struggling writers? "Successful Teaching Approaches," the second of three workshops in the NCBIDA Writing Research, Writing Practice series, will provide concrete answers to that question. Join us at The Nueva School on Saturday, January 29, 2005, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm as three respected educators highlight writing programs tailored to the needs of elementary, middle and high school students. Speakers and their topics include:

Nancy Cushen White, Ed.D.
The Slingerland Route to Independent Written Expression Skills --> Functional Use
(grades K-3)

Patricia Padgett, M.Ed.
Writing Adventures: Discovering Structured and Systematic Written Instruction from Language to Essays
(grades 4-8)

Susan E. Warburton, Language! Trainer
Language! The Writing Strand, Building Writing and Composition Skills
(grades 6-12)

On the morning of the event, participants will choose to attend 90-minute presentations by two of the three speakers. A question and answer session from 12:30 to 1:00 pm with all three presenters will conclude the program. For details on topics and speakers, click here.
