CONNECT 2024

As Language Arts teachers we are often driven by the same enduring question: How might we design learning experiences and scaffolds that help to develop critical and creative thinkers who can take ownership of their learning? In the writing classroom, this question is even more pivotal! 

This session will explore how we might:

• reframe the feedback cycle such that we shift the cognitive load to our students through targeted conversations that are meditative rather than prescriptive in nature
• scaffold peer feedback protocols to build student agency throughout the writing and revision process rather than at the end as part of an exercise on editing
