You are in the classroom, but you aren’t alone.

The mission of the Writing Mindset Teacher Collective is to empower and support educators, fostering a positive mindset that elevates their teaching practice and personal well-being. The group is led by the belief in the transformative power of a strong community. Teachers need other teachers. Through the use of a diverse range of writing resources and teacher-specific materials, the goal is to equip our members with the tools they need to enhance their teaching skills and enrich their classrooms. Together, we can cultivate a community of passionate and resilient teachers who embrace writing as a catalyst for personal and professional growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHO IS THE TEACHER COLLECTIVE FOR?

All teachers are teachers of writing. I specifically come from a background of middle school, so many of my resources are geared toward 4th-grade and up. The Writing Mindset Teacher Collective would benefit anyone who is assigning writing in their classroom.

What grade levels are appropriate for the collective?

All teachers are welcome to the collective! The resources and materials that are available to collective members are geared toward 4th grade through 12th grade specifically. I have a secondary English Education background, and all of my teaching experience is at the middle school level or early high school level. Each teacher can find inspiration in the membership materials, and each teacher can assess if the materials are appropriate for use in their own classroom.

Why do I need to be part of this teacher collective?

I am a problem-solver by nature. I am on a mission to use 13+ years of teaching and literacy coaching experience to connect with more teachers and help them get the resources and support that they need in the classroom. Writing Mindset focuses specifically on the teaching of writing, but my hope is that you feel the contagious joy that occurs when you become passionate about all things learning, books, and words.

How is the collective blog different from your writing mindset blog?

The Writing Mindset Teacher Collective has its own blog. Members can receive updates on how to use membership materials, lesson planning ideas, and more through the membership site. While the topics are often the same (teacher, motherhood, wellness), the Collective Blog will focus on how to use the membership materials each month. These items will not be posted on the Writing Mindset Blog.

how does billing work?

You get charged on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on your sign-up option. The quarterly plan saves you money overall. Your payment date will vary depending on the day that you signed up. You can pay using any major credit card or Paypal.

If you run into any issues with billing, please reach out to Stephanie at stephanie@writingmindset.org.

What if I decide to cancel?

You can cancel anytime. The cost of the Teacher Collective will not renew on the next scheduled billing date. You will be charged for the current month or the current 3 months you are in at the time of cancellation (monthly or quarterly plans). Once you cancel, the subscription will not move forward after the current charge. This works very similarly to an app subscription in the Apple Store.

Questions about billing? Reach out to Stephanie at stephanie@writingmindset.org.

How does the digital library work?

All materials are ready-to-use downloads or lessons of my own design. You can take and adapt any lessons that are posted to the membership areas. With your membership, you have access to all library materials for the lifetime of your membership. If you decided to discontinue your membership, you would not have access to any new materials (But you would if you chose to rejoin at a later date)

When was the last time you were in a classroom?

I think this question should become the norm of audiences to ask presenters of information or in any type of professional development. I think it speaks to the ability to relate to the audience and provide information of value. I entered the classroom in August of 2010. I have taught middle school and high school, but I spent most of my career in sixth-grade English Language Arts. In my last year, I transitioned to the role of literacy coach. The last time I was in a physical classroom was in December of 2022.
