CAN I REALLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
- We don’t have the money. Sean has suggestions for funding! Whether it’s grants or fundraising or finding the right pitch for your district, Sean has made workshops happen for all sorts of schools and groups, and will work with your budget.
- We don’t have the time. Sean will lead the whole thing! You can sit back, catch up on emails, take a quick nap while no one is watching. Sean will bring the workbooks and most supplies. And, to help fit this into your schedule requirements, Sean will tailor each workshop to meet your state’s curriculum standards (e.g. Texas ELA.5.12.A).
- We don’t know a thing about poetry. Sean has led writing workshops all over the country, for all age and skill levels, and written over 20,000 on-the-spot poems. He can start from Poetry Square One!
- We already know a TON about poetry. Awesome! There’s always more to learn, and Sean can cover more advanced topics, or dive deeper into an area your class already enjoys.
