Session: All students can be Writing STARZ! Tips on integrating technology into your K-8 curriculum. Date: Wed. 4/15/09

Hi! Welcome to my page!

Kathy Zawicki, Toni Napier, and I had a great time sharing strategies on Wednesday 4/15/09 at NCEA. We shared lots of practical teaching methods and ideas on using technology for writing instruction in a format that enables you to differentiate instruction and work 1:1 with your students. I support schools, primarily in Southern California, to implement Writing STARZ methods for grades K-8. Kathy implements Writing STARZ in her 5th grade classroom and Toni implements in her computer lab for grades K-3. If you are in the Long Beach, CA area and would like to see Writing STARZ in action, both Toni, Our Lady of Refuge, and Kathy, St. Cornelius, welcome visitors.

Email us with questions or if you would like pricing info on Writing STARZ, our writing books/curriculum, student journals, document cameras, projectors or other resources we shared. See below for more information and a couple of links to resources we shared. Writing STARZ ** Students succeed when they are encouraged to learn at their own pace and in their own way. The Zawicki & Associates Writing STARZ program helps teachers meet the individual needs of each child. Writing STARZ is a stations-based technology-integrated writing program that connects reading and writing instruction. It incorporates the latest research, standards, best practices, and newer technology tools into one cohesive program. Best of all, Writing STARZ is implemented in conjunction with your existing classroom reading series to enhance your current Language Arts program for maximum success.
