Angela Stockman can help us all with our reading skills K-12 however, it is in writing, expressing your thoughts, ideas and telling stories across a myriad of modalities that Angela has really lived, breathed and worked with teachers and students for most of her life. Angela believes we all have stories, our stories are important, and there are a myriad of ways we can tell our stories. Her Writer’s Workshops, books, and sessions provide all educators (and parents) with inspiration and procedures (including assessments) that create an environment where even the most reluctant can see a path to sharing their story.
Angela contributed three books to the “Hack Learning Series”, Hacking School Culture: Designing Compassionate Classrooms, Make Writing: 5 Teaching Strategies That Turn Writers’s Workshop Into a Maker Space and Hacking the Writing Workshop: Redesign with Making in Mind.
Angela has also completed three books specific to the writing process in the classroom:
Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom: Reluctance, Resistance, and Strategies that Make a Difference.
The Writing Workshop Teacher’s Guide to Multimodal Composition (K-5)
The Multimodal Workshop Teacher’s Guide to Multimodal Composition (6-12)
