The Writer’s Workshop is a framework for writing instruction and practice in the classroom.

Teaching scholars to write - to express their ideas clearly and creatively, and to find joy in the process - is a complex task. To grow as writers, scholars need explicit instruction in the craft, mechanics, and process of writing, choice in what to write about, and time to practice.

Writing Workshop is an instructional practice designed to help scholars become confident and capable writers. During Writing Workshop, your scholar will have time to work independently and with their peers. They will engage in the writing process by selecting topics, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing their original work. They receive explicit instruction in the craft of writing from exploring genre, to organizing their pieces, to word choice, style, and mechanics.

The workshop structure encourages children to think of themselves as writers and take their writing seriously. It gives children the skills to express their important thoughts and celebrates the fact that their stories and ideas matter and are worth expressing.
