Webinar: Four Square Writing Method
An Easy Way to Differentiate Writing Instruction
In an increasingly time-sensitive learning environment, finding time to differentiate instruction for students can be difficult for teachers. Particularly in regard to writing instruction, early learners’ abilities vary dramatically, making differentiation an essential goal for teachers everywhere.
According to the 2011 Nation’s Report Card™ there is a fortunate increase in time being spent on language arts instruction in classrooms across the country. However, most teachers crave simple, effective strategies to improve writing proficiency scores in their states. The Four Square Writing Method by Judith Gould and Evan Jay Gould (Gould, 1999) is an easy way to differentiate writing instruction. We’ll show you how!
Join Marygrove College’s Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT) Academic Director, Dr. Diane S. Brown and Department of Education Assistant Professor Dr. Mary Ann Dalton, CSJ as they discuss this research-tested strategy… that gets results.
