Finding Success in Your Writing Block with Susan Swensen [#175, Summer Sips Series]

Feeling overwhelmed every time writing block rolls around? You're not alone. In this special co-hosted episode, I’m joined by Susan Swensen—elementary teacher and host of The Shared Teaching Podcast—to chat about simple, effective ways to take the stress out of writing instruction.

We’re talking real talk around:

What’s actually essential in a writing block

How to keep lesson planning simple and flexible

Common writing challenges and how to troubleshoot them

How Susan’s approach helps students grow as writers and helps you breathe easier as a teacher

Plus, we’re sharing what’s coming up at this year’s Educate & Rejuvenate summer event—including how Susan is showing up as a speaker and why this event was built for you.
