2026 Fall Conference: Writing Still Matters - September 19, 2026

Thank you for another successful Fall Conference! We had an exciting and productive day of learning, writing, and collaborating. Check out our other upcoming offerings to join us this fall!

In this online community, you’ll implement, share, and reflect on literacy practices learned at the OWP Teacher Conference, PD, summer classes, and/or from class readings. Open to K-12 teachers. This workshop is asynchronous online for one month. One graduate credit.

All writing instruction includes practice, development of agency, and intentional teaching. Test writing is no different. Join OWP to explore intentional instruction around the skills and habits that support successful test writing and leave with resources like teachable skills in the state rubric, schedules for building practice, and classroom practices for elaboration. Wednesday, October 28, 2026 @ Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester. Cost for the whole day workshop is $500 for up to 4 teachers per district ($75 for each additional teacher).

Sometimes teaching writing feels complicated. One way to simplify and strengthen writing instruction is to teach with mentor texts. Mentor texts provide possibilities and clarity for student writers. In this workshop, you will explore strategies for using mentor texts to teach the moves writers make from idea generating to revision to skill building. You’ll leave with ideas and lessons for using mentor texts in your classroom. Built for and by K-12 teachers - all content areas. One graduate credit.
