Course Description

Course participants must complete the on-demand workshop below with Smekens Education in order to participate:

This course is for teachers who want to strengthen their writing curriculum by making it an integral part of their course year round, going beyond a specific “writing unit” to incorporate writing techniques authentically into every aspect of their curriculum all year long. You will learn strategies for teaching and maintaining writing and grammar skills through daily work, how to progress your students from the first to the final draft, receive tips on how to grade student writing assignments, and much, much more! Once you have completed the virtual workshop, own the strategies and plan how you will insert writing instruction into every aspect of your curriculum. Next, you will write a reflection paper detailing what you have gained from the workshop, how it fits into your professional development needs or those of your learners, and how you plan to implement the strategies throughout every instructional unit across the entire year. You will then submit your completed reflection, along with your time log, for evaluation and credit.

Coursework Requirements

Upon successful completion of your on-demand workshop, invest time reflecting on your learnings, research and relevant readings. As a student, your practicum requirements will consist of completing a reflection paper to demonstrate the implementation of strategies learned. An additional expectation is to complete a time log that documents the time spent for completing your coursework requirements. The specific requirements concerning your reflection paper and time log are based on how many credits you take per course.
 
Specifically designed for busy teachers like you, you will get up to 6 months to submit coursework requirements, and extensions are always granted upon request. Opportunities are available across all teaching grade levels, disciplines, and subjects or topics. The overall course objective is aimed at implementing the best practices of education while meeting educational standards set by your school district or state. 
 
*Additional course guidelines, formatting requirements, and information will be provided upon course enrollment.
