Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

The new school year is around the corner for many teachers.  Creating a strong and healthy Reading and Writing Workshop for students begins on the first day of school. 

In this episode, Jacob and Pam discuss what teachers do not want to do when they start their workshop.  Jacob begins with don’t wait until the second week to allow students to experience the workshop. Pam continues with don’t assign a mundane typical writing assignment as the first piece of writing for the year. They each refer to other don’ts they have learned over the years.

Join Jacob and Pam as they steer you away from some of the pitfalls that can easily occur during the first weeks of your workshop!  May you and your students have a great start to a great workshop year!
