Coming Events
We offer workshops around the state, and when registration opens for them, this is where you can snag your tickets. During the summer, we’ll offer a four-day intensive workshop, useful for everyone from instructional leaders all the way to first-year teachers. The fall will bring multi-city stops for two-day workshops on building effective practices which will show dramatic changes in STAAR scores.
In the near future, we will be opening up writing retreats at our new South Texas venue, Brackenridge Corner, located between Houston and Victoria in Edna, Texas.
Writing Retreat on Brackenridge Corner
The best writing teachers are teachers who write.
Join us at our beautifully restored Victorian home and gardens in quaint Edna, Texas. You will begin the day in our one room schoolhouse where we will share and discuss writing strategies. Later in the morning, you will explore the grounds and the house until you locate your own slice of heaven and spend some time on your personal writing. During the lunch break, you will be free to visit local shops and restaurants. Finally, you will connect with other writers in the schoolhouse for a time of sharing and reflection.
Who will benefit from this writing session? Absolutely anyone who teaches writing or loves writing. You will leave refreshed and empowered to continue sharing your love of all things writing.
*Coffee and a light breakfast will be served.
*Lunch is on your own.
*You may want a light jacket or blanket.
*Bring your favorite writing supplies!
