The primary goal of Excellence in Writing is teacher training. Writing lessons and DVDs are available for the student to make the job of the teacher as easy as possible, but it is important for teachers to gain the training necessary to help their children write well. Writing is an art and requires a give and take between student and teacher. The teacher’s course (TWSS) equips you to provide that for your student. If you only have the student DVDs, your student will learn a good deal but will only get the answers to whatever questions were asked when the course was originally filmed. If your student has any difficulty, you may find it challenging to provide him the unique help he needs. The teacher’s course provides the hows and whys behind the program so that you too can become an accomplished writing teacher over time.
