Writing instruction is at an inflection point in Texas. STAAR requires more writing across grades and content areas, including content-focused constructed responses in social studies. At the same time, AI is fundamentally changing the way our students view and approach writing tasks. In this session, we'll discuss these new challenges along with simple, easy-to-implement solutions to address them. The session will be highly interactive and will include a variety of strategies, tips, and tools to help you increase the effectiveness of writing practice in your classroom without increasing your workload. Participants will be given work time to build out resources for their classroom so that, by session's end, all participants will walk away with at least one strategy or tool that they can use in their classroom immediately. Note: This session is well suited for 3rd-12th grade social studies teachers

Notes: This is a virtual session via Zoom from 1:00-4:00.  Our hosts will be Adam Spark with My Short Answer..
