Who is your teacher?
Bev Rempel (from Calgary, Alberta) is a certified Master Teacher who leads Excellence in Writing seminars and workshops across Canada. She has the ability to instruct, inspire and motivate those struggling with this vital discipline. Teachers, parents and students attending these engaging and practical seminars have been motivated and encouraged to practice the “art of writing.”
Speaking at large conferences, training teachers at professional development days and tutoring around a kitchen table, are experiences which have qualified Bev to teach the annual “Blended Structure and Style” summer program with Dr. J. B. Webster in Grouard, Alberta.
The Excellence in Writing Workshops and Seminars have proven to be valuable learning tools, which have been enthusiastically received by students and teachers who appreciate this practical and measurable approach to teaching writing.
“...we went from frustrated to inspired and creative! It’s amazing how powerful the train of thought becomes once you get some momentum...
I am seeing that the confidence in communicating on paper spills over into confidence in communicating orally.”
“I have used program after program and have had nothing but tears and frustration when it came to writing. I have to admit, part of me was skeptical. But instead of my daughter HATING!! writing, she now sees she can do this. It has been empowering for her and her brothers, as well as me as a teacher. It was the best money spent on curriculum in years. Thanks for your dedication to this program. It's meant a world of a difference in our home.”
