Experience Excellence in Writing
Come and discover award-winning Excellence in Writing, a method of teaching composition that really works. Using this program, students of all ages will learn to write stories, reports and essays with style. This workshop will give you an overview of the program and show you how you can get started.

Take the Groan Out of Writing
When you assign a simple writing assignment do you get groans and whines of "I just can't, Mom! I don't know what to write!" Come and discover a checklist method of teaching writing that provides the student with a clear model of what the finished product should contain and gives you an objective method of evaluating their work. Finding that you can use this program with any grade student, you will come away from this workshop saying, "Yes, I can teach writing!"

Practically Painless Report Writing
Do you remember the days of report writing? Mine included hundreds of notecards filled with quotes from numerous sources and hours of trying to assimilate them all together. The end product was a paper filled with someone else's words and loads of frustration! After learning Andrew Pudewa's method of report writing, my children can read several sources, know how to assimilate information and write a report in their own words, only using quotes for emphasis. This workshop will take you from "quoting" to writing!

Writing for Everyone!
You know you need to have your children learn to write well, but how can you do that and get all your other subjects done? Easy: make writing part of science, history and literature. Come learn how to easily make writing part of your school day in a way your kids will enjoy.
