Bring HWT to your School or District

There are a number of ways to introduce HWT to your school and help students with handwriting.

Introduce the HWT program

Talk about the state of handwriting in your classrooms. Describe what you think a developmentally based teaching method should do. Explain that HWT's multisensory techniques and cost benefits make it different and better. Be sure to include information about how poor handwriting habits affect the legibility of all written work including test scores.

In-Service the Program

Now that you know that the Handwriting Without Tears program works, it’s time to share your knowledge. Plan short in-services that demonstrate the method, describe its benefits, and show your results to fellow educators.  Please contact us at inservice@hwtears.com for assistance and materials to use when presenting a Handwriting Without Tears® in-service. We'll provide scripts, presentation overheads, and handouts.

Plan a Workshop

Encourage your district’s staff development coordinator to plan an HWT workshop on a staff development day. We have an outstanding group of trained certified presenters who travel throughout the country and present our workshops. There is no maximum limit on attendance for a workshop, and sponsors can customize the grade levels and time allocated for the presentation.

Invite teachers, therapists, reading specialists, and administrators to attend. Continuing education credit hours are available for each training course. For more information about planning a HWT workshop, visit Training.

Challenge the Effectiveness of Existing Curricula: Making the Comparisons

You know that Handwriting Without Tears is the best program for your school. Offer to prepare a curriculum comparisons of HWT and the other methods being used or considered. We can provide a format for the comparison.
