GVWP Demonstration Labs at Ripon
Join expert teachers who understand how to create skilled, confident writers!
“...A great way to revamp your curriculum and reenergize your passion for teaching.”
— Catalina Papaioannou, past participant
In these exciting demonstration workshops, teachers explore instructional practices that help students face the new demands of the Common Core standards. Participants read, discuss, and observe expert teachers working with real students in a full-sized classroom laboratory. Together, teachers discover effective ways to increase student motivation, confidence, and achievement at all ability levels.

Ripon Lab for 4th-12th Teachers – Level Two – Mornings, June 6-20
GVWP Demo Lab: Write Like This – Digging Deeper -- Register online!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This two-week course is an extension of the 2013 Demonstration Lab that was held at Ripon High School; only participants who attended that course may enroll in this extended program. Click here to view other DemoLab course options.
COURSE CONTENT: During this two-week course, 2013 participants will return to study and collaborate with veteran leaders. They will observe NEW demonstration lessons that address new objectives, they will interact with students, and they will meet with colleagues to discuss instructional outcomes and implications. In addition, returning participants will work with GVWP Consultants to dissect, analyze, and embrace California’s Common Core State Standards, drawing explicit connections between CCSS and instructional practices at the workshop, and developing a clearer vision of what student mastery of the standards can look like.

ABOUT THE TEXT: Teachers will revisit Kelly Gallagher’s Write Like This, but “Digging Deeper” participants will also read pedagogical articles, explore digital resources, and adapt lesson plans to meet the needs of their students.
