ISAW can provide effective professional development for you if you wish to:
• demystify the teaching and learning of analytic writing;
• examine how teachers can make academic writing an integral component of a high school curriculum by focusing on student improvement;
• accelerate the academic writing improvement of all students—the college-bound, English learners, and struggling writers—and preparing more of these students for college; and
• are interested in collaborating with high school, community college, and four-year university teachers to move students along a pathway of academic preparation that leads to success in and beyond high school;
The California Writing Project flyer contains detailed information about the program and its astonishing success with students.
