Memoir VT

We have been committed to non-fiction since the explosion of memoir in the 1990’s. Let us show you how this popular genre can be a bridge to literacy, differentiated instruction, and Common Core Standards.

Rather than taking separate courses in these different educational initiatives, participants in our memoir workshops or courses embrace them all at once.

Our in-service workshops and graduate courses are a way, not a how to. Participants learn by doing:

  • they use our models to “read” themselves;

  • they use our models to write their own memoir pieces;

  • they apply these reading and writing strategies to critical analysis of literature;

And finally, they leave with these strategies and their writing to share with and inspire their students.
