Course Overview
In this intensive 4-part series, educators will explore the powerful intersection of The Writing Revolution (TWR) framework and instructional AI. Designed specifically for teachers of Grade 3 and above, the course centers on the "Sentence-to-Composition" philosophy to help students move beyond the struggle of the blank page. Participants will learn to leverage AI as a dynamic scaffolding tool—rather than a ghostwriter—to support students in mastering foundational writing skills and developing deep content knowledge.
