January 21st - 23rd, 2022 - A
Virtual Event!
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's
classrooms the emphasis on student achievement through written
expression is at its highest.
Current research on writing defines written expression as "the
complex self-directed process that involves the higher order
cognitive skills of idea generation, planning, organizing,
translating, and revising ideas into a written product which
communicates meaning."
At The Handwriting Collaborative we are dedicated
to providing educators with access to the research, and resources,
that are key to improving the writing development of all learners.
With this goal in mind, we have gathered together over 30 leading
international researchers in the fields of literacy education,
psychology, neuroscience, occupational therapy, and more to share
the findings of their most recent work at our 2022
International Conference on the Science of Written
Expression. This online conference, covering ALL
aspects of the science of writing, will be held January 21st-23rd, 2022.
About the Conference
The virtual International Conference on the Science of
Written Expression will showcase three (3) full days of
presentations from over thirty (30+) internationally recognized
speakers from around the world. Oxford Brookings University (UK),
Teachers' College Columbia (US), Texas

About The Handwriting Collaborative
The Handwriting Collaborative was started in Fall of 2019 by our
Founder and Executive Director, Kathleen
Wright. Kathleen's vision was to bring together a diverse
team of handwriting curriculum specialists, educators, academic
researchers, and school-based occupational therapists who are
committed to supporting children, parents, teachers, and school
administrators with handwriting skill development. Our
Collaborative's mission is to provide the professional development
training and consultant services needed to assist educators at all
levels in aligning handwriting instruction and practice with
current academic research.
