Resources

Classroom-ready educator resources.

Planning guides, rubrics, curriculum links, workshop preparation, and follow-through tools for teachers bringing spoken word into class.

Choose the workshop, grade range, number of classes, room setup, school goals, and whether the visit connects to a larger residency.

Assessment can focus on voice, specificity, metaphor, revision, oral sharing, and connection to classroom outcomes.

The workshop catalog maps poetry work to Language Arts, Health, Social Studies, Science observation, Visual Arts, and career reflection.

Professional development can help educators use poetry as a practical method for critical thinking, identity, and student voice.
