Literacy Development & Teacher Workshops
At PRP Consulting we understand the importance of time. Starting the year off early is starting the year off right! September is a wonderful time to begin the work of planning for a successful year of writing instruction. Let our knowledgeable consultants sit side by side with your school leaders, literacy leads and teachers to map out the road to successful writing instruction in your school or district. In these important sessions, we will:
- look at your school’s writing data,
- look at student writing samples,
- determine trends in writing instruction,
- map out a plan and goals for writing instruction that eliminate trends that hinder progress in writing,
- plan for the work of building stakeholders to meet the goals set for writing instruction.
Given all that teachers and students have endured over the past year, there is no better time than now to ensure writing instruction is stronger than ever!

Writing Workshops for Families
When speaking with parents and caregivers, their major concern is usually how to help their children with writing. Understanding that teachers cannot do it alone, parents and caregivers want to have a part in developing the phenomenal writer in their children. Let our consultants lead family workshops that engage parents and caregivers in:
- Understanding the basics of Writer's Workshop.
- Learning strategies for getting young people to start writing.
- Learning strategies for getting young people to revise without telling them what to do.
- Sharing ideas for giving constructive feedback that does not defeat the writer within.
- Gaining ideas for celebrating young people’s writing.
Put us on the agenda at your Back-To-School Night, Literacy Night, PTA meeting or any other event that you have planned for these important stakeholders!
