I have had many questions recently regarding content area writing instruction. Although writing across the curriculum is not a new term in education, most content area teachers still have little training in how to incorporate effective writing practice and instruction into their subject area.

This episode shared 4 techniques to not only help get more writing into your class as a content area teacher, but also how to more effectively meet the needs of your writers.

You will learn about:

• The impact of writing with your students
• Small ways to include more writing practice that also impacts reading success
• Implementation of Baseline Writing Pieces and a simply way to assess them
• Implementation of 2 ways to model writing strategies for students

After this episode, you will feel much more capable of incorporating writing into your content-area curriculum!
