Teachers are often looking for the best ways to differentiate for all learners in their classrooms. The workshop approach to teaching offers an authentic approach to meeting the needs of every single student. In this session, Lisa will provide participants with a look into the writing workshop in her classroom, how she considers all students’ needs, and what she does to engage everyone in writing.

This is the 3rd session in a 3-part series, Educators in the Spotlight: Effective Literacy Practices Straight from Classroom Teachers and Leaders. Attend one session for $20 or all three for $50.
