😮💨 Exhausted from grading the same lifeless essays over and over
😤 Frustrated that the "right" strategies aren't working
😳 Wondering why students aren't making the kind of progress that matches your effort
😞 Stuck between what you know matters and what you're mandated to measure
...to help students find their voices, sharpen their thinking, and prepare for a world that demands bold ideas and creative problem-solving.
WHy you're here
You're not failing.
But the status quo system sure is.
Yet, here you are...
to make a difference!
You became a teacher...
Teachers feel it every day.
You’re watching your writers follow the formulas perfectly (hello, PEEL, I'm lookin' at you!), and STILL struggle to say anything meaningful.
The problem isn’t your standards.
It isn’t your expectations.
And it certainly isn’t your students.
But let’s be honest...
Most writing instruction hasn’t evolved...even though our students, our world, and our stakes absolutely have.
Your writers deserve better.
On a Mission to flip the script
and so do you...
The problem is a system that treats writing like a product to be managed instead of a skill to be developed, tested, stretched, and applied.
You don't need another one-size-fits all, top-down PD.
You DO need frameworks that complement your teaching style + respect your expertise, plus tools that actually work in the classroom.
It's time to flip the script...
Say 'so long!' to outdated writing instruction — and 'how YOU doin?!' to future-forward strategies that strengthen student thinking, elevate writing, and put that nerdy spark back into your teaching.
