2025 Utah Rural Schools Conference

Writing with Purpose: In this presentation, we will explore the importance of creating a classroom atmosphere where students feel connected to one another and to their teacher. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, students become more comfortable engaging in writing activities. We will discuss how to establish opportunities for students to collaborate, offer and receive feedback, and create a community of motivated writers. Additionally, we will highlight the critical role that writing plays across all subjects and how incorporating writing throughout the school day can strengthen students' overall learning experience. This session is designed for educators looking to cultivate a dynamic, interactive, and purposeful writing culture in their classrooms.
