CREATING COMMUNITY THROUGH MENTORING: THE CARE AND TENDING OF NEW ENGLISH TEACHERS: Bright new colleagues enter our profession at the beginning of each school year. Most of them thrive, but some have career-threatening difficulties. We will examine why English/Language Arts teachers struggle within their first few years of teaching and discuss specific strategies that veteran colleagues can use to support them.

WRITERS WEEK: HOW TWO SCHOOLS MAKE WRITERS INTO ROCK STARS: Writers Week transforms our schools into writing communities each year as students, faculty, and well-known authors converge to share and inspire writing. Learn how your school can develop such a program from teachers who have successfully hosted hundreds of author visits and created widespread interest in writing on their campuses.
