Is it hard to get started with your teaching portfolio, or difficult to protect writing time in your calendar? A “Shut up and write” session is a simple and effective way to create focused writing time together with others.
Make space for writing
The format is based on participants gathering (in person or online), setting their own writing goals, and working silently in focused writing sessions (25–45 minutes) without distractions or interruptions. Short breaks between sessions offer time to stretch your legs or talk with other participants.
Participation can help increase focus and a sense of calm, as well as structure and continuity in the writing process. It can reduce the sense of writing alone and provide an opportunity to get started or make progress on your teaching portfolio.
You are free to join for as long as it suits you — you can take part for the whole day or just the morning or afternoon. The session does not include any requirement to share texts or give feedback — the focus is simply on creating space to write.
