Workshop for Writers Workshop
An Oakland Schools Community of Secondary Workshop Teachers
2021-2022 Sessions
It’s time to collabowrite!
Let’s collaborate and write together!
Enjoy a space where general education and special education teachers can have a space, place, and time to engage in writing, explore strategies, and collaborate. Experience a co-teaching model to engage students in the writing process while infusing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Workshop Principles. Teaching writing is not always easy, so let’s work together. This group meets every week with new topics each week. Please feel free to join when you can. This is for individual teachers or teams to join.
Workshop for Writers Workshop is a virtual community of practice designed to bring educators and practice together. We will be meeting on Zoom. SCHECHs will be available pending approval.
