Even experienced educators benefit from taking time to reflect, revisit, and refine their practice. The Refresher Training + MyTWR Tools membership from The Writing Revolution (TWR) helps teachers and school leaders reinforce the strategies of the Hochman Method®—so writing instruction stays consistent, effective, and evidence-based year after year.

What Is Refresher Training + MyTWR Tools?

What Is Refresher Training?

Refresher Training is a flexible, self-paced review course designed to help educators revisit key Hochman Method strategies at any time from any internet-enabled device.

All available course segments are unlocked, allowing you to jump directly to the topics you want to review—whether it’s sentence expansion, paragraph development, or revision strategies. There is no instructor, and no required sequence. You can review any strategy or concept, any time, as often as you like.

With ongoing access to MyTWR Tools—especially Judy, your AI teaching assistant—you will have the resources and support to refine your instruction immediately.

Who Should Enroll in the Refresher Membership?

This professional learning option is ideal for educators who:

• Have completed The Hochman Method: 3–12 or Advancing Thinking Through Writing 3-12
  
• Want to strengthen the accuracy and consistency of their implementation
  
• Are identified by school or district leaders as needing targeted instructional support
  

How Is the Refresher Training Organized?

The course is structured around the same modules and segments as the original Hochman Method: 3–12 training:

• Courses represent the full training topic (e.g., The Hochman Method: 3–12)
  
• Modules focus on major instructional themes (Sentences, Paragraphs, Revision, Compositions)
  
• Segments are short learning units—about 20 minutes each—that review specific strategies and examples
  

The refresher format removes forced progression, allowing you to move freely between segments to target the areas most relevant to your classroom practice.
