COMMENT CRÉER DES ÉCRIVAINS!
The doors to Comment céer des écrivains will only be open to the public once a year, in order to be sure that we grow and learn together and so that I can best support you during your start with Writer's Workshop. That time is between now and 11:59 PM on November 7th, so make sure you join us ASAP, before they close until next time!
A place for maternelle and première année teachers to get the resources, support, and community they need while they get started with Writer's Workshop in their classrooms!
So many teachers have told me that they struggle with turning their students into independent writers. Their writing block is spent either having students copy from the board, or running around spelling words for student after student -- even those that should be able to use inventive spelling on their own.
Well, my writing block has been my favourite block of the day for years, and I'm finally ready to share what I've trialled-and-errored with you!
By joining my latest course, Comment créer des écrivains, you can access an abundance of writing resources and lesson plans en français…and ALL the support you need to effectively implement Writer's Workshop...no matter what 2020 throws at us!
Transform your teaching from overwhelming to engaging, without spending hours creating resources, searching for motivation, or feeling like you don’t even know where to begin.
In Comment créer des écrivains (an affordable 6-week course created for French primary teachers), the hard work is all done for you.
I’ll provide the resources, the answers to your questions, video trainings, and checklists and challenge sheets to keep you on track and help you become the best teacher you can be - without the overwhelm and burnout that normally goes along with it.
Plus, you’ll have access to a community of teachers just like you!
Here's what you get...

A COMMUNITY OF FRENCH TEACHERS JUST LIKE YOU
When you join us, you'll have access to a private Facebook community of teachers just like you - French primary teachers from all over the country (and even some from across the world!), who are using the same resources and routines from the course that you are. This means that you will be able to ask questions and receive support from tons of other teachers, as well as from me! Teachers need community and collaboration...so let's build it together!
SUPPORT FROM ME
I'm here for you!
One thing that has been bugging me about my blog and TpT for a while is the lack of contact between us - you download a resource or try an idea, but there isn't really a way for us to sit down together and brainstorm how you can really make my ideas and resources work for you in your classroom, with your students.
What I want most is for you to feel supported and for your students to learn as much as possible.
That's why, when you join the course, I'll be doing THREE live Q & A sessions, where I will answer your questions in real time (you'll be able to join live on Facebook OR Zoom).
And, I know first-hand what it's like to dread school prep, and how hard it can be to find time to get things ready. That's why we'll also do a fun challenge within the course. Complete the challenge, and you'll have tons of new resources ready AND the chance to win some awesome prizes!
I will also be sneaking in some giveaways - maybe you'll win some much-needed classroom supplies.
Let me help make your teaching life easier!
MODULE 1
November 8-14
In Module 1, "What Is Writer's Workshop?", I’ll explain what Writer's Workshop is (and what it isn't!), the components of Writer's Workshop, the components of the writing process, what materials you need to get started, and more. By the end of this module, you’ll have a solid understanding of Writer's Workshop to build on as you start implementing it!

In Module 2, "Putting It Into Action," I’ll give you all my best tips for putting Writer's Workshop into action in your maternelle or première année classroom. We will start working through the lessons together with our students, so you can have real-time support as you go!
MODULE 3
December 13-18
In Module 3, "Next Steps," I’ll explain exactly how you can set yourself up for success with continuing Writer's Workshop long-term. This includes diving into writing conferences, writing evaluations, and more - including a couple of fun bonuses to try after Christmas!

BONJOUR! I'M MME ANDREA
I'm the creator of Comment créer des écrivains, and I help make French primary teachers' lives easier by providing an abundance of resources, support, and community.
I'm here to help you...
✔️ Spend more time enjoying teaching your students, instead of planning and prepping everything from scratch, reinventing the wheel, and feeling burnt out week after week.
✔️ Have more free time and reignite your passion and energy for your work.
✔️ Feel confident knowing exactly how to engage your class with all the resources you need that are en français, relevant to your grade level, engaging, and fun.
✔️ Feel supported and part of a community that’s cheering you on.
Mme Andrea’s course is definitely worth it! She provides a variety of resources and instructions so that it can be seamlessly and easily incorporated in the classroom. The videos are not too long and get straight to the point, and the workbook contains so much valuable information, including the written captioning of the videos. The length of the course is manageable, and the support system in the private group is great, as well. I definitely recommend taking a course with Mme Andrea!

WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT LEARNING FROM ME:
As a first-time, first grade FI teacher, this course was indispensable. When I accepted the job, I didn't know how to begin teaching the kids literacy, especially after missing so much time due to COVID. With this course, I knew WHAT to do and HOW to do it. I was able to give my first graders a strong foundation in [the] ABCs and oral language at the beginning of the year. I am not sure what I would have done without it! Also Mme. Andrea is awesome. She is very encouraging and supportive; you will love working with her. Highly recommend!
- Beth C.
I absolutely loved the ABC Bootcamp - what a great way to do the letters. The videos were great at explaining routines and such. The length of the course was perfect; we actually had time to complete activities. I loved the check-ins; [they] gave me time to prep materials needed in advance. I will definitely sign up for the next course. Bonus was having access to other teachers' ideas. What a great group of sharing colleagues.
- G.M.
Mme Andrea's La rentrée...une réussite! made my September/October run the smoothest [they] ever [have]! Her content was relevant for my grade ones, and the setup was easy to follow along with. I loved her videos, and the explanations were clear, concise, and practical!
- Ashley B.
I have been following Mme Andrea for about three years now. When she started her Club du primaire [membership], I subscribed right away knowing that she would be able to help me out since I had just changed over to a French school board and [was] teaching Kindergarten, as well. Since then, I have been a part of many Q&As and live streams just to get the support and help that I need. She has made my transition over amazingly smooth, as well as helped me with my confidence to teach a new grade level for the first time in seven years. The resources are all useful in different ways, and whenever I have a question or concern, I always jump on to the Facebook groups that she has to see if there are answers there first! Thank you for everything!
- Michelle B.
Absolutely loved the La rentrée course. The content was super organized with an optional printable or digital workbook. The videos were informative, and the resources were superb and well worth beyond the cost of the course. Mme Andrea was quick to respond to questions and offered plenty of live sessions to answer questions about the course. I loved having access to the private Facebook group, as teachers were able to support each other and share ideas - particularly this year, as it has been an added challenge to teach. The course for La rentrée helped me feel more confident teaching in a COVID classroom, as suggestions and support were shared. Merci Mme Andrea!
- Angela W.
I absolutely loved this course! I have been teaching for over 20 years, and [I] was desperate to inject a new approach to my program delivery without sacrificing my own philosophy for teaching. The ABC Bootcamp has been a gift, and I am astounded by my kinder students’ enthusiasm for the new letter each day. Not only are they enthusiastic, but their recognition of letter sounds has increased significantly, and I am so excited to start up a group of readers when we are through. In the past, I have done Jolly Phonics with one letter a week, and [I found] it to be too slow -- it [was] March before we [could] really get moving. I teach a group of junior and senior kinders, and the ideas and activities provided allow for a great deal of differentiation. I enjoyed the sessions/videos with Andrea, and [I] also liked the guest speakers -- [I] also purchased a number of their resources as a result. I love the extension activities and the oral communication reinforcement. [I] liked the timing of the course, and [I] found it easy to follow along before school started, but [I] must admit that once my own students returned...I found it more difficult to keep up. Prepping ahead has been my saving grace. I have always liked Mme Andrea’s resources for being helpful, [for being] in French, and [for being] inviting...[I] just signed up for Club du primaire this weekend! Merci! Keep up the great work -- you are helping me be a more effective teacher!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are the answers to some of the questions I have most frequently been asked about enrolling in my courses and what's included:
In a word, YES! My goal is to make sure that it will be worth it for anyone who wants to join. That's why there are engaging, rigorous writing resources included with the course. While a couple of the smaller resources may be some you already own as they are in my TPT store, the bulk of the value of the resources are brand new and not currently available anywhere else.
The course also contains TONS of videos that explain exactly how I use the resources and are full of tips for your classroom, along with exclusive resources that are available to everyone who signs up...things like scripted lesson plans, anchor chart pieces, word wall resources, alphabet posters, and more!
If you scroll up, you'll be able to see the list of all the resources that are included, as well as what they currently cost on TpT (or would cost, if they were available there). This should help you decide if enrolling in the course is the best option for you!
Due to the digital nature of the program and to the fact that you'll receive ALL your resources and video trainings as soon as the course starts, I am unable to offer refunds once the course begins (November 8, 2020). That being said, I will make an exception for you if you can forward me proof of your grade reassignment from your principal!
This course is very focused on Writer's Workshop! While you can certainly take the basic framework of Writer's Workshop and apply it to math or reading instead, I chose to focus this course very specifically on using Writer's Workshop to teach writing in French, since this is such an essential skill for students' later academic success. Throughout Comment créer des écrivains, we will not be discussing any other subjects.
