Every Wednesday night at 7:30 EST, educators and thought leaders from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project host a Twitter chat. These chats proved so popular that TCRWP has committed to an entire summer of online professional development across a variety of topics, including: supporting English Language Learners in the writing workshop, understanding reading development in early childhood, planning classroom libraries, and much more. Be sure to follow TCRWP on Twitter @TCRWP and search the hashtag #TCRWP. Full schedule below.
