A Morning of Best Practices
LIWP Saturday Series
A Morning of Best Practices
Join us on Saturday, March 3rd as two Long Island Writing Project teacher-consultants share some of their best practices for teaching and inspiring student writers.
Eva Kaplan, a National Board Certified Teacher, will present “Cultivating Change Through Picture Books” from 10:00-10:50. Powerful non-fiction picture books can inspire conversations, reflections and insightful writing on how the small actions of others have and continue to change our world. Join us as we discuss ways to incorporate non-fiction and fictional picture books as mentor texts in our classrooms in exploring the lives of individuals who have made a difference in their world. We'll discuss the importance of using the narratives in picture books to nurture the characteristics of kindness, bravery, empathy and perseverance.
At 11:00, Evelyn Pineiro, a dynamic middle school English teacher, will share how digital tools and apps can help differentiate writing instruction and lead to more responsive teaching and learning. Ed Puzzle, Explain Everything, and Google Drive (Google Docs) are some of the tools Evelyn will discuss as she presents ways to help tailor instruction towards students’ needs.
We hope you will join us as these two inspiring, passionate, and experienced educators share some of their best practices with us.

Writing Towards a Better World
The Long Island Writing Project
The LIWP comprises teachers from kindergarten through university. Our seminar leaders are outstanding educators from different grade levels and disciplines in local schools, and we have a strong, ongoing partnership with Hofstra University's Department of Literacy Studies. LIWP teacher-consultants keep up with research and changes in education and their work is grounded in practical classroom approaches. Through our model of teachers teaching teachers, participants in the LIWP strengthen the classroom strategies they already find effective in teaching writing and develop new ones.
One of the most important foundational beliefs of our Project is that teachers improve their knowledge of teaching writing by writing themselves. Another is that the best way to improve our own teaching is through sharing what works with other effective teachers. We welcome your inquiries, and look forward to writing, learning and teaching with you.
The Long Island Writing Project at SUNY Nassau Community College is an approved Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) pursuant to Section 80-6 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, New York State Education Department (NYSED).
