"Thank you so much for facilitating a time to explore what is really important about writing instruction. The workshop gave me an opportunity to reflect on what I really want to hold on to, and what I want to let go of, when coaching teachers through the new Units of Study."

Mollie's work with our faculty was invaluable! She was able to deepen our teachers' understanding of Writing Workshop and provided model lessons in each grade level. The discussion that followed the lessons was rich and allowed teachers to think about ways to connect what they learned from Mollie directly to their classroom practice.

"Mollie is a very seasoned writing teacher and I felt lucky to have her as an instructor. I liked that she had also taught a variety of grade levels in different school settings and she was able to talk to different teachers' experiences. Even though we learned a lot over two days, she didn't make it seem overwhelming and was able to give us good advice for how to start out in your first year of Writers' Workshop. In addition to the content, I found it really helpful that she had suggestions for materials to use and different ways to physically set up Writers' Workshop in your classroom. Because of her teaching experience I felt like her advice was very authentic and was based on what she had tried herself in her own classroom."
