Energizing the Writing Classroom:
Boosting Student Achievement
through Teacher Engagement
The theme of the conference is to help teachers regain their voices and passion for
teaching and therefore boost student achievement through a renewed excitement for
writing. Keynote speaker Barry Lane will focus on incorporating voice and passion in
nonfiction and other writing and address prompted writing tests. He will demonstrate
practical strategies for all grade and subject levels and enthusiastically engage the
audience with his unique approach to the teaching of writing.
Concurrent sessions from many of Appleseed's Teacher Consultants will run both
before and after lunch featuring grade-level presentations of best practices for writing
and the teaching of writing. The program will feature strands in primary/elementary,
junior high/middle school, high school and college/university. Presentations will
connect theory to classroom practice and community, including interaction and
model collaboration among different subject and grade levels.
This year, a Friday night reception has been added to the agenda. Barry Lane
will join us as we read, write and recite from our own work in a writer's
marathon/open mic. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Auer Hall lobby of IPFW's
Rhinehart Music Center, where appetizers and a cash bar will be available.
Participants will then engage in a writing prompt and later share their work in an
open mic/reading session. A reduced fee is available for those who attend both
Friday night's reception and Saturday's conference.
