My Project

Teachers need to stay current with their practices so that their students are up-to- date with grammar, vocabulary, and writing techniques.

The materials in this professional development project will enable me to improve my teaching practices by providing current information about what is new to teaching grammar, vocabulary, and writing.

Students will benefit from the new techniques utilized in class to enhance their learning experiences that will lead to better writing results.

As students learn these techniques and reflect upon their writing, we will grow as a learning community. I will reflect upon my teaching practice from what I have learned as well as analyze the results of what the students have produced based on my teachings in class.

Grades 9-12
