Educator Workshops
We offer hands-on educator workshops so that educators can better support their students with college essay writing. In our first two workshops, “Introduction to Teaching the Moments Method” and “How to Provide Question-Based Feedback,” educators will gain a foundational understanding of our unique approach to storytelling, writing and providing feedback. Once educators have this foundational knowledge, they can learn how to apply their learning in a more targeted way in our “Letters of Recommendation” and “Supplements” workshops.
After participating in any of our workshops, educators will gain access to our custom classroom curriculum, which includes lesson plans, slide decks and worksheets. They can use the curriculum as is or make adjustments to make it uniquely their own!
Our workshops take place in-person and virtually (i.e. Zoom “meeting”). These workshops allow for ample interaction and engagement among coaches and educators.
Below, you’ll find some more information about each of our professional development workshops:
1 - Introduction to Teaching the Moments Method®: Educators learn how to use the Moments Method® to teach students how to use storytelling to build successful college essays, plus interviews for internships and jobs.
2 - How to Provide Question-Based Feedback: Educators learn how to provide trauma-reducing, question-based feedback on student essays.
3 - Letters of Recommendation: Educators learn how to use storytelling to write effective letters of recommendation for each student.
4 - Supplements: Educators learn how to instruct students to use storytelling for 6 different types of supplemental essays.

Impact
“Being able to tell stories to a colleague to get a sense of how our students feel as they contemplate what to write in their own stories, and how empowered they feel after hearing from others.”
“Appreciate the balance of interactive activities and making connections between tools/resources and practical application to practice with students.”
“The resources that were shared are so incredible and effective. I always appreciate not only practical takeaways, but tangible takeaways are even better.”
