Here's what we'll explore each month: 

January
Why write? Why writing matters in the age of AI!
This month, we’ll explore why writing is more important than ever in this age of AI-generated content: writing for thinking and learning, writing for communication, writing for expression . . . It all matters, and you can help your child tap into it!

February
Writing Formats: Brave Writer Writing Projects as structures (formats) for writing
Essays and reports are some of the most recognizable writing formats, but writing takes many forms! We'll break writing out of the box and show you how to use writing structures to meet your kids where they are and grow their confidence in writing.

March
Cross-Curricular Connections: Building Unit Studies with Brave Writer
Writing is here. Writing is there. Writing is everywhere! Writing breaks the bounds of subject matter and skips across all subjects! (What a delightful image!) Building Unit Studies with Brave Writer makes it easy to weave writing into history, science, math, and more! This month, we'll give you the building blocks and hand over a few ready-made plans—training program members only!

April
Assessment: End-of-the-year assessment strategies that help you plan next year!
We’ll help you wrap up this year while planning for your next year at the same time. What would it be like for assessment and planning to not be two separate projects? We'll explore various styles of evaluation and how you can use them to leap-frog into next year with the confidence that you’re meeting the needs of your unique child!
