Teacher-driven writing education
826DC partners with teachers to develop and deliver project-based writing instruction, based on each classroom’s existing needs and learning objectives. Together, with the support of 826DC staff and guest teaching artists in each session, the students hone in on specific writing skills and other parts of the writing process.
