Writing Improvement Network

Our services include:

• Working side-by-side with teachers to improve instructional strategies and materials for all aspects of literacy:  reading, writing, vocabulary, research and technology.
• Working directly with students (as teachers observe) to demonstrate effective instructional strategies for all aspects of literacy across the curriculum (e.g. ELA, science, social studies).
• Assisting teachers with development of instructional materials and classroom assessments that align to the correct grade-level and appropriate cognitive rigor of academic standards.
• Demonstrating for teachers how to analyze available test information to improve instruction.
• Reviewing district ELA curriculum for alignment and rigor and recommending revisions.
• Assisting teachers in transitioning instruction and assessments.
• Providing off-site workshops – often by grade band (PreK -5, 6-12) – for teachers and administrators across the state to learn specific instructional strategies and share their own professional experiences with others.
