Writing is Thinking (WIT) involves explicit instruction in expository writing skills to develop students' written and oral language, content knowledge and reading comprehension simultaneously. WIT is especially powerful for English learners because it also teaches how the English language works.

This online workshop focuses on the foundational, sentence-level strategies that form the heart of the WIT approach and that develop students' mathematical language and expertise in alignment with the Next Generation Standards for Mathematical Practices.

This is a hands-on, experiential workshop. It is not intended to turn math teachers into writing teachers, but rather to develop math teachers' expertise using WIT to meet their content and assessment goals. This workshop is appropriate for math teachers of English learners in grades 3-12, including bi-lingual and co-teaching pairs. Participants are expected to attend all four sessions.

Participants MUST be enrolled by Sunday, April 17, 2022.

To access this workshop, a Zoom link for each session will be shared with registered participants to their email addresses used to enroll in Frontline (MLP), in the afternoon the day before each session.

Cost: Free
