6+1 Trait® Writing for Assessment & Instruction
The 6+1 Trait® Writing model gives teachers a powerful framework to formatively evaluate student writing through an analytical approach focused on the traits that characterize quality writing.

Participants will learn:
- A common language and vision of what good writing looks like
