We have gone remote! Beth is currently offering a variety of remote PD options as well as remote classroom coaching. Email Beth.Olshansky@comcast.net to set up a phone meeting to discuss options for designing remote Professional Development to meet your individual, building or district needs. As an evidence-based literacy model, Picturing Writing and Image-Making professional development, instructional material, and art supplies can be purchased using Title I, II, III, IV-A, and V funds as well as obtained using graduate credit reimbursement funds available through your district. A range of graduate credit course options are available including hands-on teacher training and individual classroom mentoring.

Our 2021 PICTURING WRITING VIRTUAL SUMMER INSTITUTE offers a menu of Picturing Writing Workshop options, mornings only during the last two weeks of June, prior to the start of summer school. Because Picturing Writing and Image-Making Within the Writing Process are evidence based literacy models, schools and districts can use ESSER l, II, or III FUNDS to cover costs of Professional Development, including all art and instructional materials needed to address learning loss or unfinished learning this year.

Take advantage of this unique funding opportunity for training teachers in these engaging Standards-Based Integrated Curriculum Units of Study that also align with many Social-Emotional Learning Competencies. These proven, art-based literacy models offer fabulous summer school programming as well as rigorous, engaging learning throughout the school year.
