Advancing Student Voice Through Writing, Revision, and Publication
School-based writing and publishing programs that support student engagement, academic language, collaboration, reflection, and meaningful student outcomes.
I am a registered vendor with the NYC Department of Education offering bilingual writing and publishing programs designed to support student engagement, academic language development, college and career readiness, and meaningful student outcomes.
My programs combine creative writing, storytelling, publishing, and project-based literacy to help students strengthen their voice, revise with purpose, and produce work for a real audience. Programs can be tailored to the needs of each school community, including English Language Learners, multilingual students, students with IEPs, special education groups, creative writing students, journalism students, and college and career readiness cohorts.
Through writing, revision, collaborative discussion, self-reflection, and publishing-based projects, students develop clear communication skills while building confidence in their ideas and lived experiences. Programs are aligned with New York State Next Generation ELA Standards and support Danielson-aligned instructional practices, including clear learning outcomes, knowledge of students, active engagement, feedback, reflection, and evidence of student learning.
