Strong writing skills are essential for student success, yet many teachers lack the preparation and tools they need to teach writing effectively. In a recent Heggerty survey, 60% of teachers reported feeling unprepared to teach writing, and 76% said they don’t have the necessary resources to support instruction. For administrators, this highlights a critical challenge: ensuring teachers are equipped to provide explicit, evidence-based writing instruction that goes beyond simply having students write more.
In this Lunch & Learn session, our experts explore what it takes to build a strong foundation for writing instruction in today’s classrooms. You’ll learn why a structured curriculum matters, what supports teachers need to be successful, and how district leaders can help create consistent, high-quality writing experiences for all students.
