This dynamic professional learning course empowers middle and high school teachers to integrate effective writing instruction across content areas, preparing students for both academic success and future careers. Based on the principles outlined in Grant, Lapp, and Thayre's work, participants will explore research-based strategies for developing students' writing skills within their specific subject areas.

Participants will learn to:

• Design writing assignments that meaningfully connect content knowledge with real-world applications

• Implement scaffolded writing instruction that supports diverse learners. Integrate discipline-specific writing practices across subject areas

• Develop assessment strategies that enhance both content understanding and writing skills

• Create authentic writing experiences that prepare students for college and career readiness
