"Learning about Writing Workshop and having to write the curriculum for my grade level this summer would have been impossible without the LP Teacher Membership.
The monthly videos are a great way to learn aspects of Reading and Writing Workshop. I often watched a video while I was writing parts of the curriculum to ensure I was including best practices and strategies for my grade level. I also learned more successful strategies for how to carry out book clubs in the classroom to continue expanding on my knowledge.
I can honestly say that it feels like I have personal mentors through my Literacy Partners Membership."
