Seeing a lot of mention about workshop today, and I have a mini thread to offer...

Just a reminder, workshop (both reading & writing) is not a curriculum one can buy, it is a methodology, a structure for teaching that is incredibly flexible and versatile. (1/3)

I’ve been a workshop teacher my entire career, and I’ve used many different curriculums, professional texts, and materials from different sources to support the work. Workshop is not a canned program to follow. 2/3

A workshop teacher follows the lead of students and knows the magic of it is not in the whole group mini lesson, but is found in the individualized conferring, small group work, and student independent work time. 3/3
