The co-hosts of the Brave New Teaching Podcast & co-creators of the Teaching Poetry & Creative Writing Workshop.
We've been teaching for over 30 years combined, and with that experience, we know exactly what NOT to do. We've failed plenty of times, and from all of those mistakes, we've learned how to carefully adjust and align our curriculum design to best:
meet students where they are
engage our students
teach basic AND challenging skills
align instruction with assessment
de-center texts and center inquiry
MOST POPULAR OPTION
While we do offer all of our workshops as stand alone programs, most of our teachers prefer to join us at a monthly rate. At just $27/month, you not only have access to this workshop, but to ALL of our workshops AND our monthly subscriber-only podcast.
Happy Hour teachers love having access to every single workshop whenever they need it. We know how much teaching changes, and you never know if you'll be switching courses or suddenly long-term subbing in a course you've never taught! Give yourself the peace of mind to have multiple genre-based workshops at your fingertips whenever you need them.
...and that you won't find anywhere else!
Originally, we presented these workshops to teachers over the course of a week. Now, you can access them for as long as you need at your own pace! The workshop will open for you as soon as you register -- start today!
