A meeting place for a world of reflective writers.
Teaching my own kids is humbling to say the least. At home, I am not the special visiting teacher. I’m not even the teacher. At home, I’m mom, and it is the understatement of the century to say that it is a challenge to teach my own kids.
Now’s our time to shine workshop teachers! Hasn’t independence and transfer always been the goal of workshop teaching?

Observing young children and keeping anecdotal records of their behaviors is a time-tested tradition in early childhood education.
How do you build a community of writers at the start of the year who can trust each other with their stories? And how can you do that in a hybrid or distance learning model?
It can be done.
