Rebuild Student Writing Development In Your District

With the abrupt ending of last school year and the uncertain beginning of this year, students in your district may have missed out on important writing development opportunities.

Perhaps they didn’t get to complete final papers or summer assignments. Teachers may also be easing into the school year now so that online or socially-distanced lessons go smoothly.

However world conditions may have shaped education in 2020, it’s essential that students keep pace with grade-level writing standards.

Many students will want to get into great colleges, and every student will need writing skills when they enter the workforce.

So if you feel student writing development has been hurt by this year, now is the time to get it back on track. Read on to learn how IntelliMetric can help.

 

Assign More Writing

Students may have become comfortable using free time in unproductive ways by this point. Without being able to leave the house for a period of time, and stricter rules about social distancing at present, it’s likely they have been spending more time on leisure activities, watching TV, and browsing the Internet.

Unless parents have been rigorous in keeping their children focused on productive tasks, and students kept this in practice over summer break, teachers may be up for a challenge.

Reviving that essential work ethic in students will help them in the future. With IntelliMetric, teachers can easily assign more papers, book reports, and essays. While teachers focus on their lesson plans, IntelliMetric scores writing at or above the level of human expert graders.

Not only will this help students get back to good study habits, but it will help them to become better writers. Research shows that when students write more and receive feedback on their papers, they improve their writing. With better writing skills also come better reading, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.
