Jane Schaffer Writing Program

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-STAR Feedback from a Middle School Teacher with Fort Worth ISD at the recent JSWP® STAAR® Literary for Secondary Workshops (6-8).

👩‍🎓THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS ESSAY 5-PART WEBINAR SERIES
Students all over the country and abroad are asked to write college admissions essays to the colleges of their choice. This task can be daunting for students, but the Jane Schaffer Writing Program guides students to producing an essay that provides sincere information and separates them from other applicants vying for that college acceptance letter.
Some college essay topics ask students to (1) share their backgrounds, interests, or talents; (2) provide lessons they have learned from obstacles encountered in their lives; (3) recount times when they might have been questioned or challenged; (4) reflect on something that other people did that made the students thankful; (5) discuss accomplishments, events, or realizations that sparked a period of personal growth; or perhaps (6) describe captivating and meaningful topics, ideas, or concepts in their lives. JSWP provides high school student workshops to guide students to select appropriate and interesting college essay topics to set the students’ writing apart from other college admissions entries and then leads students through the process to develop their essays.
JSWP also provides teachers with a step-by-step approach to strategies for writing college essays so that their students can successfully enroll in the college of their choice.

⏰ COUNTDOWN to STAAR®: COMPLIMENTARY Webinars for Texas JSWP® Teachers!
See 🔗 in BIO for registration.
Live, after-school sessions designed specifically for Texas STAAR® writing expectations. Registration required.
With STAAR® testing just around the corner, Dr. Deborah E. Louis wants JSWP® teachers to know one thing: we’re in this together.
With 36 years of experience teaching in Texas—and firsthand experience with every major state assessment from TABS to STAAR—Dr. Louis understands both the pressure teachers face and the strategies students need to succeed.
To support our JSWP® clients during this critical testing window, Dr. Louis will present nine complimentary, after-school webinars for Elementary, Middle School, and High School teachers.
Each 75-minute webinar will focus on a STAAR released test and provide practical strategies teachers can use immediately to guide students through the thinking and writing process for both SCRs and ECRs.
In past district webinars, many teachers implemented these lessons the very next day—with reported increases in student confidence, skills, and scores.
Note: These sessions are designed for existing JSWP® clients. Dr. Louis will not review JSWP® terminology, colors, chunks, or ratios.
Date: 2/23 – STAAR Literary
Time: 4:30 pm – 5:45 pm (Central)
