Description

In this first episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why traditional writing instruction isn’t working and what you can do instead. I’ll walk you through the simple shift I made that completely transformed my classroom (and made teaching writing way more fun for everyone involved).

I’m sharing:

  • Why most students sound like robots when they write (and how to fix it)

  • What “structured writing” really means

  • What to expect from this podcast and how it can support you all year long

If you want to dive into the 10-video FULL training on The Structured Writer’s Workshop, go HERE.

Whether you teach in a classroom or homeschool around the kitchen table, I hope this episode gives you a sigh of relief and a spark of inspiration.

Let’s rethink how we teach writing. I’ll show you how.
