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

Structure provides the foundation which enables students to participate rigorously as well as enjoy learning. Designing lessons for such engagement requires the teacher to establish routines, procedures, and practices that must occur daily.

Jacob and Pam reflect and discuss the non-negotiables of a reading writing workshop.  

Last week they shared how freedom and choice bring rigor to the classroom, however when the teacher allows freedom does this mean the teacher is giving up structure?

Join Jacob and Pam as they discuss the most essential elements in the workshop. Listen for the necessities of a successful workshop!

PS: At the top of the show we answer the pressing question of providing a training on the Craft & Draft journals!
