In 2020, Alison Sloan created “Be You & Become a Better Writer” online courses for learners between the ages of 7-12 who want to embrace who they are while learning to become better at writing. These 8-week courses are offered through live online meetings or as self-paced lessons to meet every learner's need. While providing strategies for improving stories, essays, poems, and personal narratives, Alison's courses allow learners to communicate clearly through writing and share their unique voices. She wants learners to know the potential each one of them has when they put pen to paper (or fingers to keys).
Alison Sloan is a certified K-12 ELA/ESL writing teacher for the state of Texas. She graduated from Baylor University in 2011 with degrees in psychology, linguistics, and sociology and got her teacher certification from McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.
