Professional Development for Schools
As I watch my students take risks and blossom, I feel that I am teaching them to write, not just function to fulfill a writing protocol.
Partnering with WEX™ is easy, and the impact is immediate. Schools and school systems collaborate with a WEX trainer to customize a program or select from one of our carefully-designed models.
School-Year Partnerships
For schools and systems that elect to begin a partnership during the school year, WEX has designed three standard partnerships.

Summer Partnerships
This hands-on approach enables teachers to learn the WEX Method™ by implementing it with real students and analyzing the outcomes on a daily basis. Many schools use the Summer Immersion Programs as a summer school alternative or as an orientation (bridge program) for students entering the school for the first time.
