Writing as a Process can be challenging for students learning and/or their teachers instructing this content. The main reasons are that numerous sub-components need to be pulled together, and writing is a highly complex skill which involves a multitude of sub-skills. Additionally, self- confidence for both the students and their teachers is front and center! Through extensive training and experiential knowledge, I've developed a myriad of hands-on strategies to nurture and instruct in ways that build skills and confidence while enjoying the process for emerging, developing and fluent writers.
