Post-Convention Survey
We all want our elementary students to improve as writers. How do we assist them? Daily writing practice, yes. Mini-lessons, yes. Mentor texts, yes. Feedback, YES! But how? How do we provide authentic, meaningful feedback to our student writers? Join Erin and Karen to discuss various forms of effective feedback including timely, targeted comments, feedback frames, and single point rubrics. Regardless of your learning environment this year – in-person, online, or hybrid - this session is for you!
