Share Your Story: Reflect on Your Past and Write Your Future into Existence

Applying for jobs, launching a business, or aiming for publication? Your words have the power to open doors.

Learn How

Whether you want to land your dream job, build a successful business, and/or establish yourself as the education expert you are, you need to persuade others that your experience is valuable.

This starts with telling your story.

When you get clear on how your unique experience can be used to create the results you want, so many doors open up. Especially when working virtually, it’s important to be able to clearly communicate what you’ve learned in the classroom and what you believe about education. 

But what if you aren’t sure what you bring to the table? (It happens to all of us!)

The first step is to write. By using writing as a reflection tool, we can get clear on how to tell our stories in compelling ways. And by getting feedback on our writing, we can bring our stories to life. 

In many ways, your writing skills determine your opportunities and earning potential beyond the classroom. 

Through the Education Writing Foundations Program, you will learn how to use writing to get the results you want. 

You'll get personalized feedback on your work and become an Educator Forever certified education writer. 

Whether you want to work with an education organization, create copy for your own business, write grants, and/or get published in education publications, this program is for you!

Through the program, you will:

  • Find your voice as an education writer

  • Reflect on what you’ve learned as an educator 

  • Create powerful vignettes that share your unique story 

  • Use copywriting strategies to create impactful text 

  • Build a sustainable and joyful writing practice

I Want That!

While many people apply for jobs and start their own businesses, there is only one you. Your story and expertise are what will set you apart from the crowd.

The secret to compelling copy is to add your voice to it.

We get better at writing by writing and through targeted instruction and feedback.

The Education Writing Foundations Program is the perfect blend of instruction and accountability to take action.

The magic happens when you write the words that get you the client, job, or publicity you desire.

Strong writing skills open the door to so many opportunities beyond the classroom.

What do you want? ⇢ You can write it into existence.
