The goal of the SBAC® training in Argumentation writing is to provide teachers with strategies, differentiation techniques, models, and graphic organizers to teach their students improved and results-oriented writing skills, reading skills, and overall test scores.

Participants will learn how to navigate through the SBAC writing assessment using the Jane Schaffer® architecture to better prepare students for test day. Participants will learn to teach strategies to 1) decode writing prompts for clear understanding of the questions to be answered; 2) brainstorm and develop an engaging idea reflecting depth of thought with specific details, examples, and commentary; and 3) execute the planning into a focused, structured, and coherent piece of writing. JSWP structure of writing and thinking helps students through a stressful test situation.

Credit Cards, Purchase Orders, Business Checks Accepted.

Requests for a full refund must be received in writing three weeks prior to the first session. Once materials are shipped (two weeks prior to first session) cancellations may be made up to seven days prior to the first session for a refund minus the cost of materials and shipping. No refunds will be offered within seven days of the training or for no-shows.

Participants attending live sessions must attend at least 80% of the live training to earn a certificate of completion. We understand that extenuating circumstances occur in life, and we are sensitive to those situations. For that reason, participants who register for these three live sessions will be able to receive one recording only due to an absence.
