In today's bonus episode Tara, one of the teachers in our Online Professional Development Course Writing Instruction: A Proven Approach, outlines what it was like for her moving from elementary school to middle school English Language Arts and writing. Her journey is one so many teachers can relate to, as many of us are asked to change grade levels throughout the course of our careers. Tara shares why she chose to dive right into the EBW Approach and what it has been doing for her students and their writing! We'd also love to invite you to join us in our Free Live Training, "4 Proven Strategies for Teaching Writing Like a Pro!" where we will be walking you through many important aspects of the EBW Approach and how you can become a kick-a** writing teacher as well.
