CITL Summer Institute 2026

With so many writing tools available, the key is knowing how to organize and use them effectively. This workshop focuses on grouping tools by purpose to support intentional writing instruction. Participants will explore how writing progressions, checklists, and rubrics can help students set goals, guide small-group instruction, and strengthen writing skills. The session also highlights the use of demonstration writing samples, gamification strategies, and purposeful editing practices. Teachers will leave with practical ideas for creating a strong, student-centered writing plan that makes writing both structured and engaging. 

Bring to the session a writing unit of study, writing progression, writing checklist, anchor chart, and/or student piece of writing.
