Design project-based curriculum, and learn how to publish your students!

Our expert curriculum consultants bring their years of experience to carefully designed workshops that will take you through the process from planning to publishing, including a focus on proven ways to teach writing, revision, and editing to students of all ages and skill levels. We will also explore myriad ways to "go public" with your students' work, from published texts to public performances, including:

  • Mentor texts and tools/techniques for designing and managing a writing-for-publication project
  • Curriculum guides and teaching strategies
  • Instruction in digital publishing and use of online publication tools to publish student writing, including hardbound texts as well as audio and visual applications
