As a general education teacher in the Collaborative Co-teach Program , I experience and witness the benefits this model brings to all students.

Want students to believe that writing is worth the risk-taking and challenges they may face? ✏️ These picture books—for elementary *and* middle school students—teach the power and purpose of storytelling. edut.to/3WvXNPh

A1: Through storytelling and by example we can teach Ss to keep trying and not give up. We can create a safe environment where they learn it is ok to make mistakes and encourage them to continue to try even when it is difficult. #BuildHopeEDU

A1: Read lots of different genres of books. Discuss the different styles each author has. Share your excitement for writing and model a lot as you teach. Allow Ss to have some choice in their writing. #buildHOPEedu

A2: Sometimes it is their confidence and belief that they can get their ideas on paper. I find that they also get stuck in perfection. Afraid to make mistakes especially in the beginning drafts.#buildHOPEedu

A3: Share our writing and encourage them to write also. Sometimes they feel the same way our Ss do - it has to be perfect. When in reality writing is a process and it is always evolving. #buildHOPEedu
