	•	Renew your commitment to exploring the craft of writing with your students
	•	Connect your students to professional writers and artists
	•	Gain valuable, practical classroom materials and classroom resources
	•	Share best practices, challenges, support, and solutions with colleagues

be a teacher: Wordstock offers accredited professional development opportunities and a writing group for teachers throughout the year.

With more than thirteen years experience working in Portland area schools and nearly 20 professional writers on our roster, we’re ready to support schools in their efforts to give every student the chance to be a writer.
