Mariposa COE : Writing in the Secondary Setting
Mariposa County Office of Education

Description
This Community of Practice brings together 6th - 12th grade educators with a shared goal: to build lifelong writing skills in all students. Together, we will explore strategies that promote student autonomy, confidence, and growth in writing. Our work will focus on creating strong, sustainable classroom writing systems that support diverse learners and empower writers to see themselves as capable, independent communicators. Participants are encouraged to bring both ideas and questions to fuel collaborative inquiry, deepen our collective understanding, and learn from one another. Whether you're refining your current approach or building something new, this CoP will provide a space to reflect, explore, and grow alongside passionate colleagues.
