Welcome! Teachers Write is a community of teachers and librarians who believe that people teaching writing should walk the walk. I’m children’s author and educator Kate Messner, and I launched the Teachers Write! virtual summer writing camp on my blog after a Twitter conversation with Teachers Write co-conspirators Jen Vincent and Gae Polisner. We started working together to sprout an organic, relaxed, and unique professional development activity for teachers and librarians, and before long, a supportive and passionate community of writers had bloomed.
Summer 2013 dates for Teachers Write will be June 24th-August 12th. Please bookmark this page, follow me on Twitter (@katemessner), along with our hashtag #TeachersWrite. Also join our Facebook group if you’d like to get updates!
Our goal is to provide opportunities and encouragement for writing, learning, and sharing, with support from published authors who donate their time to visit and join our conversations. If you’re a teacher or librarian, we’d love to have you write with us! Here’s how…
