The SMS ELA team attended the Communicating Live! ELA Content meeting. Here is what a couple of them said about their training:
"We discussed many writing strategies like connecting evidence to claim. We also listened to awesome Missouri teachers just like us explain, demonstrate and involve us in a variety of discussion techniques we can use in our classrooms."
"At the DESE Missouri Writing Projects Network conference, the atmosphere buzzed with creativity and camaraderie. I attended workshops that challenged my thinking about teaching writing, where educators shared innovative strategies and personal anecdotes. The keynote speaker inspired us with stories of resilience and the transformative power of writing. During breakout sessions, I connected with fellow attendees, exchanging ideas and resources that reignited my passion for teaching. The conference was not just about professional development; it fostered a supportive community dedicated to improving literacy and nurturing young writers. It was a truly enriching experience! "
We are proud of these ladies and their commitment to adding strategies and tools to their teaching toolboxes!
