The WriteSteps to meeting the GLCEs

Schedule your free 40 minute Awareness Meeting today!

Teaching writing and meeting the GLCE requirements can be a challenge! WriteSteps was created to assist the teacher in using the most current techniques and strategies to meet the Grade Level Content Expectations. With the WriteSteps DVDs, you first watch the classroom lesson and the next day you use the organized, user-friendly lesson materials to replicate the writing lesson in your own classroom! It is that easy!

You can read books or attend workshops about how to teach writing, but there is no substitute for seeing master teachers model lessons with real kids in real classrooms!

These GLCE writing lessons follow strategies designed to improve teaching and learning that will ultimately reflect in increased English Language Arts (ELA) MEAP scores.

The WriteSteps materials strongly reinforce reading and writing skills that are assessed on the 4th and 7th grade Writing MEAP test.

The WriteSteps lessons have been developed and refined based on a writing consultant’s experience as a writing coach in more than 350 Michigan classrooms! WriteSteps lessons have been tested, refined and proven in Michigan classrooms with different teaching styles, various class sizes and socioeconomic levels.
