Fixing the Flaws in the Writing Workshop Model Ep. 4
Description
Many teachers are abandoning writing workshop… but not because it failed. It’s because the structure was missing.
In this episode of Beyond the Paragraph, I’m sharing how you can reclaim the power of workshop with simple, transformative shifts that bring clarity, consistency, and calm to your writing block.
Whether you’re a former fan of Calkins-style instruction or just tired of chaotic, unproductive workshop time, this episode will help you:
- Identify why traditional workshop often falls apart
- Discover how structure with explicit instruction makes all the difference
- Reignite your love for writing time
Let’s bring back the workshop we actually wanted...the one where students truly have ownership, skills are clear, and everyone knows the plan.
