Securing an On-Site Staff DeveloperWe will host a Q&A session on Thursday, August 11 th at 8:15am in Milbank Chapel (1 st Floor Zankel) forthose interested in learning more about working with RWP. At this meeting you will learn about securing: Support for teachers to develop state-of-the-art reading and writing workshops with ongoing, site-basedstaff development in your school or district Support for principals and other administrators to deepen their knowledge of curricular leadership inliteracy Support for literacy coaches and reading specialists to develop methods of staff development and tomentor teachers Help designing and implementing school-wide (or district-wide) literacy planAccessing the RWP ResourcesThis year for the first time, the RWP’s Curricular Calendar is available for any school or district to use as yourown. We know that in the past, copies of the Curricular Calendar have been passed secretly from one eagerteacher to another, and that many districts have put in countless hours rewriting the Curricular Calendar into theirown words so as to benefit from the ideas within them without breaking copyright laws. The good news is thatanyone and everyone can now have full use of the Curricular Calendar for a nominal fee. Many districts aremaking the decisions to include this information on their district’s website and teachers across cities aredeveloping their own adaptations of these documents. These documents are available on the Heinemann website:www.heinemann.com.Here is a brief description of these plans directly from the website: The Common Core Reading & Writing Workshopplans provide grade-specific yearlong curricular plans for reading and writing workshops that are carefully alignedto the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Growing out of the Reading & Writing Project’s community ofreflection and practice, these plans describe Lucy Calkins and her colleagues’ latest thinking and insights on howto teach the essential skills and strategies of proficient readers and writers; how to progressively build on studentlearning; and how to fully address the CCSS in your reading and writing workshops. Provided in an easilyaccessible electronic PDF format, these curricular plans can be quickly downloaded and immediately support yourreading and writing workshops.In addition to helping you meet and exceed the Common Core writing standards, the writing workshop curricularplans will help you craft a rigorous writing curriculum that:• responds to your writers’ developmental needs• increases the volume and quality of your students’ writing• empowers students to write with greater independence and purpose“We must remember that no matter the state standard or national goal for our teaching, the horizons we lead ourstudents toward are neither nearby nor narrow. We teach for no less than to offer our children ways to understandand make meaning of the world; we offer them skills and strategies for learning and for becoming morepowerful.”-Lucy Calkins17
