The Writing Round-Up {1.2.21}
Happy new year and welcome to the January 2, 2021 edition of the Teach Write Writing Round-Up, the space where I gather tips for teachers to help them grow as writers so their students can too!
Be sure that you have joined my email list so you never miss an update!

Did you miss my writing mindset webinar on Wednesday where I shared tips for overcoming those things which hold us (and our students) back in our writing? You can catch the replay here.
In this Edutopia article, Amy K. Conley shares how she learned what she says to students about their writing changes their mindset and the way they think about their own writing even more than conferences and portfolios. Much of Amy's advice applies to us teacher-writers too!
Are you ready to become a teacher-writer? Check out our Creating a Writing Habit workshop for the inspiration you need to start this wonderful hobby.
Brenda Mahler, a member of Teach Write, curates a list of her blog posts with writing strategies to help improve writing. Check out “Writing Tips: Strategies Proven to Improve Writing.”
For some writerly giggles, check out “Writing Advice, Ranked”, which even comes with a warning that these tips may have harmful effects on your writing career.
