  • Word Choice

Always Write: Purchase Materials from my Teacher Workshops

Always Write: Purchase Materials from my Teacher Workshops | 6-Traits Resources | Scoop.it

Corbett Harrison:


These are resources from my classroom and my teacher workshops that I sell here on-line to fund this little website of mine.

I started out as just a little old Northern Nevada teacher-trainer in 1996. Many years later, I am proud to say that I have now presented teacher workshops and student demonstration lessons in seventeen different states. I have also sold materials from all my trainings to all 50 of the 50 United States, as well as to Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Central America, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

At my face-to-face workshops for teachers, I freely share and discuss every resource that can be found on these various pages of my website. My work with the Northern Nevada Writing Project taught me this generosity. I have been given to countless times by amazing teachers, and so I freely give back to the teachers with whom I work directly.


Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Here's the chance to support Corbett's work and get great classroom tested writing materials at a very good price.

Valuable as they are, the Standards cannot compensate for our lack of one thing: the biggest factor of them all—time. It is impossible to teach writing well without enough time. Time for students t...
Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Time is always the issue.  As a classroom teacher every lesson addressed multiple standards and objectives.  Teaching writing was also teaching reading, grammar, research, and critical thinking.
