Heidi Bechard began teaching at Republic High School (Republic, Missouri) this fall. She is eager to incorporate what she learned while completing her degree about the writing workshop model into her teaching of English 2, English 4 and English 4 Honors.
In particular, she is excited about the prospect of writing alongside her students to show them “how important it is for everyone to see themselves as writers.”
She shares, “I can’t wait to instill a love for writing in my students!”
Heidi completed a degree paper, “Writers Write Together: How Writing Really Happens,” which was chaired by Dr. Catherine English with Dr. Danielle Lillge as reader.
