I have never been more inspired as a teacher as well as a writer. This is truly one of the greatest conferences I have ever attended. Phenomenal!

                                                                Katie Radcliffe   4th Grade teacher

In this 1 day writing workshop, you will learn how to :

• Create kid tested, classroom proven strategies which raise STAAR test scores

• Learn playful lessons and practical ideas for creating a class of lifelong writers, not just test takers.

• Discover kinesthetic learning strategies that get your kids moving and bring your literacy lessons to life.

• Learn to mine themes and insight from literature and life.

• Teach essay organization without mindless formulas which flatten out writing.

• Teach elaboration with simple tools and concepts that students love.

• Design a question culture which brings writing to life in all subject areas.

• Use songs, poetry and literature to teach expression and create passionate, creative, non-fiction writers who wow their readers.

• Show struggling writers and second language learners revision strategies

and fun grammar lessons that work! 

I cannot say enough about this conference. It was hands-on and very interactive. Not only did I learn things about teaching my students, I also learned about myself as a writer and I want to start writing my own stories. Hands down, best conference I have attended--worth every penny!    Holly Pace, grade 8               

Teachers of all grade levels rave about Barry's STAAR Workshops

If this workshop doesn't ignite your passion for teaching writing you might want to make sure you have a fuse!
