Presentations include but are not limited to topics such as:

  • The math and writing connection
  • Multi-genre research
  • Portfolios
  • Writing in science
  • Using Photostory to teach writing
  • Using patterns for poetry, paragraphs, and essays
  • Writing revision
  • Grammar for non-grammarians
  • Local legends
  • Writing and dialect
  • The art of bookmaking
  • Teaching writing to students with  
  • Disabilities
  • Guided imagery
  • Plagiarism

We offer single workshops, or workshops in a series up to 15 sessions, the equivalent of a semester-long course. Individual schools and school systems interested in a single workshop should contact Inservice Coordinator Hope Cloud at hcloud@wisek12.org or Director Amy Clark at aclark@virginia.edu or 276-376-4562. For a series, contact Amy Clark.

Please note that a contact number will be provided at the time the inservice is planned, since these numbers change based on whether the inservice is conducted during the summer or academic year.
