K-12 Teachers of Creative Writing
Friday, March 25, 2022
5:00 pm to 6:15 pm
The caucus creates a space where teachers in K–12 schools, as well as those who work part-time with young writers, can share their classroom experiences with the hopes of helping one another understand the complex and diverse needs of young writers in the twenty-first century. The meeting will feature presentations by caucus members to help generate discussion around issues of pedagogy, and how to build a creative writing curriculum that is accessible to students no matter their identity or background. This meeting will be accessible to in-person and virtual attendees.
