MCTE is pleased to announce our
2023 Fall Workshop
Why Kids Hate Grammar and What We Can Do About It
October 30, 2023
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum | Chaska, MN
Why does the simple utterance of the word grammar in our classrooms cause students to cringe? Travis Leech, co-author of Patterns of Power for Adolescent Writers and High School Writers, was once such a student. He has become an educator who is passionate about the invitational Patterns of Power process for grammar instruction. Our day of learning will begin with a brief examination of how teachers encountered grammar as students. This will be followed by discovering shifting learning anchors around grammar. We will then experience the student-friendly process for making kids fall in love with—or at least use—grammar with purpose and craft. We will then explore resources to support implementation of this grammar process into classroom practice. The entire day will be highly interactive, with participants reading, writing, and discussing often about not only the Patterns of Power process but also ways to fit this process into their tightly-packed classroom schedules. Standard Registration Fee is $175 Full-time students can request a discount code by contacting mcteinfo@gmail.com. Registration includes MCTE membership, breakfast, and lunch. WiFi will be available. CEUs will be provided at the end of the workshop. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need interpreters or other assistive services, please contact mcteinfo@gmail.com.MCTE cannot be responsible for payment of these services without advance notification.
