I couldn’t find a writing program that engaged my students with fun, meaningful writing lessons.
So I created it.
I’m a teacher on a mission
to equip other teachers, empower students, and bring great writing into every single classroom.
I’ve taught around the world, from Spain and South Africa to Mississippi and Oklahoma, and here’s what I’ve learned: A child who knows how to write is a child transformed.
I’ve seen how strong writing skills go beyond the classroom, giving students the framework they need to think on a higher level, unlock their creativity, and feel confident in their ability to communicate.
My team and I developed Writing with Design with your school in mind. It’s a writing approach rooted in research from science of literacy, language development, and the writers’ craft that’s led to remarkable results— incredible test score improvements, excited students, and teachers who love teaching again.
I believe in this program because I’ve watched it transform thousands of students nationwide. I sincerely hope for the opportunity to bring Writing with Design to your school, too!
No skill is more complex or important than writing
And great writing is built from the ground up, with engaging lessons, a simple framework, and passionate, confident teachers.
Nothing prepares preK to 12th-grade students like Writing with Design. Our program guides your students from basic, one-sentence responses to complex, multi-paragraph pieces that demonstrate advanced critical thinking and problem-solving.
Writing with Design cultivates these remarkable results by breaking the writing down into a simple, easy-to-follow process. We give teachers all the ready-to-use resources, purposeful writing activities, and hands-on support they need to effectively teach these skills in a way students love to learn.
As students gain confidence in their new set of skills, their writing— and grades across the board— improve.
Imagine what would happen if your school or district’s test scores improved by double-digits next year.
Resourced teachers are happy teachers, and happy teachers cultivate exceptionally successful students
today and beyond.
