Alice
Greiner, teacher, educator, and author of The
Write Tools: Improving Literacy Instruction
series. Alice's years of classroom experience, mostly
working in high-poverty, high English-learner schools,
help her bring to educators a down-to-earth, practical
approach to writing. Her relaxed style, sense of
humor, and "learn from my mistakes" anecdotes
help participants in her workshops feel immediately
comfortable. After several hours with Alice, participants
often comment, "You really have been a teacher,
haven't you?" Alice considers this the highest
form of praise. |
