Writing has been proven time and again, to be a key contributor to success in terms of goal-setting, gratitude, memory development, various cognitive and emotional therapies, increasing creativity and productivity, neural plasticity & network development, self coaching, mental well-being, thought processing, fine motor development, overcoming depression, and even fighting dyslexia and psychological disorders. You name it. There is evidence proving that writing enhances success all over the place - it is not simply a means of communication or expression.
Our Little Brains, need to know how to write!
In this episode, I share a model of Writers' Workshop that has proven successful in 100% of the over 30 classrooms I have coached it in. Students are more engaged, confident, resilient, take more risks, start loving writing, and the quality of their writing drastically improves! PLUS, teachers gain hours back into their lives, rarely need to take writing home to mark, develop a deeper connection with their students, and are able to improve their own writing skills!
Intrigued? Join me, for episode 5.
