Help your students master grammar, mechanics, usage, and syntax with simple strategies that build confidence, promote understanding, and motivate self-editing!
In this 15-hour course, teachers will read an important resource book and explore classroom-tested, research-based instructional strategies. As they test new ideas in their classrooms, they will share challenges and insights with colleagues. Together, they will discover better ways to address state standards and help all students become successful writers.
