“My students now see themselves as writers. They understand the importance of word choice and revision. It’s been an amazing process!” 

TEACHERS AS WRITERS is based upon Michelle’s work in multiple classrooms writing picture books with young authors and teachers. This workship will give you the tools you need to write your own classroom stories, reinforce story elements, and inspire a lifelong love of writing in your students. Your students’ writing fluency will improve as they see themselves as writers by the end of the story you write together.
