Jane Hansen is a professor in the McGuffey Reading Center at the University of Virginia, where she specializes in reading instruction and conducts research with young children on reading and writing across the curriculum. Formerly a professor at the University of New Hampshire, Hansen has published When Writers Read (Heinemann, 2001) and When Learners Evaluate (Heinemann, 1998. She co-edited, with Thomas Newkirk and Donald Graves, Breaking Ground: Teachers Relate Reading and Writing in the Elementary School (Heinemann, 1985). In 1996, she collaborated with Kathy Staley to produce the video series Portfolios: Students as Readers, Writers, and Evaluators. She brings writing and reading together in the courses she teaches and the presentations she gives.
Of her workshop, “Writing Across the Curriculum: Pre-K Treasure Maps to Secondary Comics”, she writes, “As educators who focus on writing and writing instruction, we are figuring out ways for writing to be what students see as the center of their days. To engage our students in fantastic Writing Across the Curriculum, we have them create comix in middle school science, essays about ‘My Day that Lives in Infamy’ in eleventh-grade U.S. History, treasure maps in Pre-K, and much writing in math in the elementary grades. The students at all grade levels, in various subject areas, create genres that best show and tell what they want to broadcast to their audiences.”
In addition to Dr. Hansen’s afternoon sessions, participants will be able to attend two presentations offered by NVWP Teacher/Consultants. These sessions are appropriate for teachers of all subjects and all grade levels. Topics will include:
- Writing Across the Curriculum
- Analytical Writing
- Writing and Research
- Developing Writers’ Voice
- Writing with ESOL and Learning Disabled Students

The full schedule of presentations, including descriptions, will be available on this website by February 26.
