You are the special education teacher at a local elementary school and have been asked to present to the staff about assessing and teaching handwriting and written expression.

Create a 1 page handout that is informative and useful for elementary teachers as they teach the physical skill of writing along with written expression. When developing a handout for general educaiton staff, look at their job from their perspective, what items would be valuable to know or be reminded of?

Consider sharing facts, common issues/mistakes, positive and useful instructional strategies, reminders, and accommodations.
