The best way to achieve lasting change in literacy instruction is to participate in our partnership program. Partnerships are long-term commitments toward school improvement. Seven Valleys works closely with administration and teachers to design a program that best meets the needs of your district.
The goals of Seven Valleys’ school partnerships are to:
- Improve learning for all students across levels and content areas
- Increase the use of writing as a tool for learning in all subject areas
- Expand the knowledge base for teaching literacy by providing continuous professional development on site
- Build the leadership capacity of teachers
- Expand school literacy programs to include families and the community
- Encourage the sharing of effective teacher practice through a network of schools and districts
Our work with schools may include the following:
- Strategic Planning
- Writing Across the Curriculum and Writing in the Disciplines
- Demonstration Lessons
- In-service Workshops
- Study groups
- After-school workshop series
- Community and family writing programs
- Common Core Standards
- Reserved positions for district teachers at Writing Project conferences and 7VWP’s Summer Invitational Institute
