Helping your students become proficient writers
More than three quarters of students in the US today are not proficient in writing according to the Nation’s Report Card. This includes English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and others who may have not yet mastered the skills necessary to become a proficient writer.
In this webinar, we were delighted to welcome guest speaker Kasey Bell (Shake Up Learning) to join our very own texthelper, Jason Carroll (Global Product Manager) to talk about tools to help improve students writing.
As most of you will know, Kasey is an engaging, innovative, from the heart sharer who inspires educators while transforming their teaching. In this session, she talks about how technology can make a difference to literacy in classrooms and joins Jason to demonstrate student tools available in Read&Write, as well as our newest tool WriQ, that can help teachers automatically assess the quality of student writing and tracks progress over time.
