We are also planning to also offer zoom options for some or all sessions. There will be an additional 1.5 hours of asynchronous time for this event.

This Community of Practice brings together kindergarten through fifth 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—no matter each child’s starting point. Our work will focus on creating strong, sustainable classroom writing systems that support diverse learners and empower young 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.
