Are you a public high school or CBO counselor working with a caseload of 75+ students? This one’s for you. In this session, Ethan Sawyer (College Essay Guy), Hanah Lim (former AVID teacher, workshop expert), and David Cha (Warren High School) will share the process they’ve developed and used over the past several years to help students brainstorm, revise, and refine both their personal statements and UC personal insight questions. Handouts provided.
In this jam-packed 90 minutes, we’ll cover:
- Why even lead essay workshops?
- When are the best times to host workshops?
- What content to cover in 1-hr, 2-hr, or 3-hr workshops
- Tips for promoting your workshops
- An incredible software tool for keeping students engaged
- A great opening brainstorming activity
- A detailed case study of a successful program at Warren High School (public high school in title one district)
- A quick guide to giving great essay feedback… without scheduling tons of meetings
- How to help students pick a topic
- A quick guide to dealing with cliche topics
- A crash course in the UC Personal Insight Questions
- How to access videos, template slides, and workbook with exercises
- And more
Important: We’ll even cover what to do if you don’t have time to lead a workshop—and we’ll cover that first so if you don’t have time to stay for the whole 90 minutes, you can get what you’re looking for and leave!
