e-Learning Overview
Kate Nonesuch has compiled her approach to teaching writing in the Never-Fail Writing Method. This method is based on Kate's 35 years of experience as an adult literacy and adult basic education practitioner in BC. Kate’s approach to instruction is learner-centred and inclusive.
The Never-Fail Writing Method will show participants:
- how to respond positively to a piece of writing, no matter how many mistakes are in it;
- how learners can learn to pick out what is good about any piece of writing;
- how learners apply what they see in other learners’ writing to their own writing;
- how to use the Never-Fail Writing Method to teach specific aspects of writing style or grammar.
You can access the Never-Fail Writing Method as a print resource or work your way through this e-Learning. Either way, Kate is a most capable captain in your voyage to share writing in a "sea of positive emotions."
