Education Northwest's 6+1 Trait® Writing Model of Instruction & Assessment provides a common language teachers and students can use to communicate about the characteristics of quality writing and establishes a clear vision of what good writing looks like.

During this workshop, administrators and teacher leaders will be given an overview of the model and a framework for what to look for within a traits-based classroom.

Participants

This workshop is designed for principals, board members, teacher leaders, curriculum specialists, district administrators, and anyone who wants to know how a traits-based classroom functions and what to expect during classroom observations. It is suitable for educators of grades K–12.
