We are excited to announce Success in Teaching Writing, an upcoming online conference that will focus on special needs. Happening on Saturday, January 16, 2021, this full-day writing conference will offer sessions for teachers and parents as well as students. The schedule of sessions is as follows:
-
10:00 AM CT - Overcoming Obstacles in Reading and Writing
Combining his knowledge of child brain development and his personal experiences of teaching his own dyslexic child, Andrew Pudewa will encourage you while examining practical tools you can utilize with your own students. -
11:30 AM CT - Teaching Writing to Students with Special Needs
During this workshop, Andrew will teach you about how the Structure and Style® writing method adapts to any type of special learning situation.

1:00 PM CT - Student Writing Workshop
This is a great way to get your students involved in learning how to write. Have them join in with this live writing class taught by Mr. Pudewa.

2:30 PM CT - Putting it All Together: Questions and Answers with Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker
In the closing session, Andrew and Julie will take time to answer participants’ questions. When you register for the conference, you will have an opportunity to submit a specific question regarding teaching students with special learning needs. Andrew and Julie will share the submitted questions and offer helpful suggestions. If you teach students with special learning needs, this session will help you feel equipped for success.
