Benefits of Having a Coach
Teachers, administrators, and district personnel can actually SEE what their students will produce in writing, and the instruction can be adjusted accordingly. This is also an excellent way to plan for professional development!
Teachers can select an unlimited number of tasks for the class (from the bank of tasks) to offer additional opportunities or different opportunities depending on the needs of the class.
Teachers have easy access to high-interest texts aligned to critical learning targets with the practice built right into the task. No need to search for appropriate text and make up a task. They are already ready to go!
While working on the writing tasks, students are also working on the learning targets for reading and research. One task addresses several learning targets!
My Writing Coach fits right in with any existing Language Arts curriculum. This is not writing program specific. Any student who needs to learn to write will benefit from using My Writing Coach!
