Episode 64 Stop Performing and Start Learning

Getting Students to Write!/ Helping teachers transform writing time and grow writers who thrive!

This episode was inspired by a recent keynote speech given by Mr. Eduardo Briceno.

His speech resonated with me and the work I do with writing teachers!

We all want to do our best, but do we really know how to make change in our work?

Teachers are always performing, trying to give their best to their students. However Mr. Briceno tells us that living in the "performance zone" hinders our ability to learn and grow.

If you want to truly grow as a teacher of writing and help your student writers to grow as well, this is the episode for you!
