*~Transform Student Writing From 'Meh' to Masterful! (K-12) - Presented by Kristina Smekens

Description

Many students can string words into sentences and paragraphs, but too often their end product is vague, underdeveloped, and unorganized. To produce the quality of writing required in the standards and on assessments, students need to understand what constitutes “good” writing and then apply the skills to achieve that benchmark. During this engaging workshop for K-12 educators, writing expert Kristina Smekens will identify the characteristics common to all good writing and share instructional strategies to transform student writing from “meh” to masterful. Join Kristina as she unveils the research-based traits of “good” writing across all grade levels and genres; shares concrete strategies to communicate these ingredients to students; itemizes a list of priority writing skills to teach throughout the year; and empowers attendees to provide relevant instruction and targeted feedback.
