Overview

This series is designed to take practitioners through the process of establishing and producing a Program-Based, Learner Writing Publication. SABES will sponsor a Learner Writing Sharing Celebration in the Spring where each program who wishes to join in may bring copies of their journal to share with other programs and to hear a “few” writers read their work. 10 PDP’s are available for full attendance at all four sessions and successful completion of a course project. Please call Annemarie Espindola (508-678-2811 ext. 2782), prior to starting the series if you are interested in obtaining PDPs.

Details

Putting together a book takes some time and careful planning. Programs may decide to simply weave together a series of word documents and duplicate stapled pages. Other may want to consider broader “tech integration” skills to create a more professional look. This can be done with some simple tips and tricks. Preferance will be given to those registering for all 4 sessions This session will be held in Building D Room 209
