Start With Purpose (Why will I use Write About in my class?)

The most successful teachers align their use of Write About with the purpose of their classroom. 

Exploring and adopting a writing platform is an important investment that teachers make in time, money, and attention. You would only be here if you feel that Write About can make a positive impact in your students' learning and lives. That's why we exist!
