Make Writing Real

Great question! Content is primarily delivered in video format, but you'll also have access to the video transcripts and lesson slides so you can consume the information however you'd like.  Workbooks, templates, and other handy teaching-related resources accompany most lessons as well.

This part is easy-peasy!  Once you purchase, you'll receive an auto-generated email containing both the email address you signed up with + a temporary password, plus a direct link to the course login page. Any time you want to log in to the course thereafter, simply visit my website, www.edpioneer.com, and click the 'Login' button at the top. 

But for your convenience, I include a video walk-through of this process on the thank-you page following your purchase :-)

Forever, friend!  As long as the digital world will host us, anyway!  Purchasing this course means you have lifetime access to the CORE course modules, but do you want to know even better news?  Any time I update or add-to these lessons, you have access to that stuff, too! Yip, yip!

Course content is dripped out over the span of several weeks, so one module is released per week.  And I do this very intentionally. As the movers and shakers of Make Writing Real, I want us to *do* something with what we work on (this ensures, after all, that you get your money's-worth and I get the change I wish to see in this world!).  

This is uncharted territory for many of us, so we need to lean on each other to make-writing-real. By dripping the content, we are all part of the same experience, so that lets us pool our resources, insights, and know-how accordingly! Make sense?  

MWR isn't just a digital course.  It's a community. A full-on experience, which means that we are 'all in this together'!  Inside your digital dashboard--below each lesson-there's a convenient lil' comments box where our community of teachers can converse and collaborate back-and-forth.  Again, this is why I drip the content (see question above), because we are more capable of helping each other when we're stuck if we're all on the same page! 

While I encourage you to keep up on a week-to-week basis, you certainly aren't required to.  Once you purchase the course, it is yours, always, so you are more than welcome to go at your own pace as it suits you. 

And while you can't binge watch the whole course at once *right away* you certainly can after the drip experience is over!  So if that option suits you better, it's yours! It's up to you and what works for the time frame you have to commit to this experience.

Nah!  Again, the content is yours to navigate through at your own pace.  While there certainly is a perk to being up-to-speed, the members inside the course community will be happy to help you 'when you get there' and so will I!  

And you know how this goes: it's easy to feel overwhelmed the first time we're teaching something new; and we tend to feel that way until we've been all the way through the experience that first time.  So the last thing I want you to feel is that you're falling behind, because that is *so* not possible!  

As such, I purposefully include and encourage implementation time throughout.  That way, you can *do* the things you're learning about without having to rush, rush, rush.  I practice what I preach in terms of depth over breadth, yo!

Ooo, that's a good one!  It's highly dependent upon your school district and/or school campus and what their requirements are for awarding professional development (PD) or in-service points of whatever nature, but I am happy to work with you to get those requirements met.  

(Some requirements from your district might be, for example: course syllabus and proof of content mastery and/or a completion certificate, so I would just need to have proof from you-to-me that you are actively implementing course content with some degree of success, in order to issue that certificate, or to provide a signature, etc.)

So in other words, are you required to do your homework...absolutely not!  While *of course* my hope (and the way I roll out the course accordingly) is that you will take action on the ideas, insights, and materials I share; but I do not require you in any way to prove to me that you've done the work.  That part, my friend, is on you!

You know it!  I stand behind this course one-hundred-and-ten percent, but if you get in and realize it's just not right for you right now, you have 14 days ( and 3 module's worth of exposure!) to make that decision and request a refund.  

How about we start with who this course isn't for...

it's NOT for teachers who are looking for a magic teaching bullet that will ricochet into amaze-balls awesomeness over night.  Because as teachers, we're well aware...there is no. such. thing. Or we'd all have it already. So I definitely don't position this course as such, and my last intention is to attract a bunch of tire-kickin' breakroom complainers because I just 'want the money.'  Heck, nah, and that wouldn't be fair to the people who ARE in here to grow and transform.

So meanwhile, this course IS for those teachers who are willing to put the time and trust into the process of transitioning our teaching into more modern methods that speak to the tangible skills our writers need to see success in this world.  

It IS for those are willing to try, fail, and try again until they get their lesson plans just right for their unique population of students (cuz' that's what we do all the time anyway, right?!).

And it IS for those teachers who are willing to be bold and take a risk, who are willing to believe there is something better out there to seek in the name of our learners and future leaders.  I hope I answered that alright for you ;-)
