Description: Across the state, students are expected to write brief explanations and in-depth responses to demonstrate their understanding of content by explaining, analyzing, and evaluating information provided in a reading selection or stimulus. Join us for this fast-paced, writing focused training to explore composition strategies for teaching students how to properly address short and extended constructed response items on STAAR. Collaborate with colleagues as you all work together to create questions and petitions for a wide range of texts along with scoring rubrics. We go beyond RACE and RACES to get students to use the writing process to create brief and extended responses that meet the demands of assigned writing tasks. 
Objectives: 
Teachers will learn and retell…  
  • How the writing process can be condensed to address constructed response
  • Why students should be writing in response to text daily
  • Why activities that teach writing should be interactive
 
Teachers will learn and practice…  
  • Highly effective teaching techniques, appropriate for all learners in all grades and especially helpful to those students who struggle with writing
  • Using the Petitions Framework to create Extended Constructed Response items for student to practice
  • Drafting, Revising and Editing strategies that teach students how to craft quality responses to text
  • Strategies to integrate reading and writing in all classrooms daily
