In reply to Todd. Hi Todd, I will send you the curriculum developer's email address, so you can contact him about field testing if you like.

High school English teacher here. I would be interested in potentially using CLP Creative Writing curriculum.

In reply to Jennalie. Jennalie, I think I forgot to reply to this. Sorry! Yes the creative writing curriculum I am working on is geared more towards the upper grades. I recently heard about a creative writing curriculum geared more toward younger grades and may review it in a future post. CLP doesn't publish it, but they have it available in their catalog.

Hi! I've never left a comment in your blog yet, but I have been anonymously enjoying your blog posts I'm so exited about the Creative Writing curriculum that you are helping with! I have been a teacher at our school where all CLE curriculum has been used, and I'm curious if the creative writing could be used for grades 3 & 4 or if it's more geared for upper grades?

In reply to Holly. To me this means stopping work in time in the evenings to read. :) And taking time to enjoy the moments.

I really like your James Clear quote: “Instead of working toward retirement, work toward your ideal lifestyle.” I’ve always felt like saving for retirement is for people with more money than me… so I don’t connect with the concept of retirement. But this quote! To me this means learning to bake and cook things I love so that I can make them in my kitchen instead of buying them from a store. And finding out what brings joy to my husband and daughter and doing my best to support them in these things. Painting with watercolours a few times a week – just for the fun of it…

In reply to MZ. I checked with the curriculum director, and you and your daughter would be eligible to field test. I'll send you his email address so you can get in touch.

In reply to Yolanda. Yes, Yolanda. I will send you the email address of Norwood Shank, the curriculum director, and you can send your contact info to him. In answer to the independent learning question...like much of CLP curriculum, the material is set up in a student-directed way so that students can work independently, but there is a teacher's guidebook for teacher involvement and the curriculum could also be taught in a classroom setting.

My daughter, who is in the sixth grade, was excited to hear about the project you’re working on. We’re not Mennonite, but we homeschool using CLP. She loves creative writing, and she thinks it would be very exciting to test it. lol
