Helping our middle and high school students express themselves through writing is critical, both through instructional and whole-child lenses.  Dr. Shields will share robust, engaging activities, tools, and strategies to nurture the art of expression in writing, as well as meet the individualized needs and interests of our students. Participants will receive hands-on training, as well as ready-to-use classroom presentations and lessons to begin implementation in their own language arts classrooms.​
