Pathways to Proficient Writing
Planning a Roadmap to Writing
Pathways to Proficient Writing is designed for educators that are committed to learning about the connection between writing research, theoretical models such as the Not-So-Simple View of Writing and The Writing Cycle, and best practices for writing instruction in the classroom. Participants will learn effective instructional practices that will benefit all students, including linguistically diverse populations and those with or at risk for language-based learning disabilities.
At the end of this professional development opportunity, you will be able to draw from your specialized knowledge of the processes and skills that comprise writing (including planning and organizing ideas, translating ideas, using transcription skills, and reviewing, revising, and editing) to increase your students’ writing proficiency.

The Power of Sentence Writing
Proficient writing is a cornerstone of effective communication, empowering individuals to express ideas clearly, convey information accurately, and connect with diverse audiences. To write any composition, writers engage in many processes as they effectively plan what to say, generate text through handwriting or electronic means, and revise their work to make improvements. However, “of all the tools a writer stocks his or her toolkit with, one of the most basic, yet most critical, is the ability to construct sentences” (Saddler, 2019).
