When I first began using the workshop model, I felt very unequipped to help my writers.
I wasn't a writer myself and certainly had not had any training in writing or how to teach writing. So, when I sat next to my little ones and read over their pieces, I felt like I didn't know how to help them.
The truth was, I knew so many things about writing that would have been exactly what my students needed to hear! Not only that, but I was able to learn FROM them as they showed me what THEY did as writers.
In the years that followed, I also learned from many resources along the way.
Listen in to hear more of what you already know and a few of the tools that have helped me become an even better teacher of writing.
