Our mission is to help your students become proficient
writers. This includes students at all grade levels and those students who
struggle the most.
We are a dedicated, experienced, successful,
and enthusiastic team of veteran educators. We share practical strategies,
ideas, and lessons developed from research based “best practices”
and from decades of teaching. As consultants we work with students, teachers,
principals, and district administrators to adapt our flexible program to meet
the various challenges encountered at all levels.
The Secret of Success: The incremental nature of the Teach the Traits of Effective Writing program allows teachers and students to experience success at each step. This success produces the positive attitude that results in greater achievement levels for every student and leads each student to master the basics of effective writing.
Teachers, too, need to experience success and build their personal skills. We are available as a continuing resource to identify issues and problems and to design a strategy to overcome obstacles.
Teach the Traits of Effective Writing - A "How To Teach" Program
"Writing taught once or twice a week is just frequently enough to remind children that they can't write, and teachers that they can't teach. They are both like athletes who never get in condition, yet have to play the game before derisive spectators."
- Donald Graves
