In this episode, Danielle and Nicole talk to Pam about what first got her started with TeachersPayTeachers, why she has decided to focus her energy on writing specific products, how she pivoted to developing trainings for teachers (and what her average day looks like now that she has officially left the classroom and manages an entire team). Danielle and Nicole pick Pam’s brain about where students and teachers alike usually go wrong with the writing process, and what steps they can take to make sure that they are cultivating students who are confident and competent writers.
