My Project

I have gone through two years of the LETRS literacy training and I would love to increase my knowledge and skills for developing strong writers in my classroom. This professional learning opportunity is virtual and will allow me to strengthen my teaching skills around writing.

It will give me the knowledge to teach writing to all my learners and help them feel more confident, excited, and motivated to become better writers.

Increasing my future students’ writing abilities and understanding will help them be successful in other content areas and in their literacy journey.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
