A Schoolwide Writing Program That Leaves No Child Behind

In a lively, one-hour presentation to a packed audience, Dennis Pauli explained the Step Up to Writing Program. He modeled strategies as he led participants on a joyous journey through each step, comparing his pace to "taking a drink of water from a gushing fire hydrant."

Participants received a folder of materials filled with activities to practice back in their own school districts. Pauli tied the program to brain research, principles of differentiated instruction, and other best teaching practices. His energy and good humor left participants inspired to get back to the classroom and get kids writing.

This was a wonderful session, and I have not only already used his writing suggestions, but also his active teaching strategies in my class! Thanks and I will be passing on the information from this session to others from my school.
