26-27 College Essay Guy - From Brainstorm to Breakthrough: Coaching Student Voice in Personal Statements and UC PIQs
In this interactive professional development session, participants will explore how to help students generate, shape, and revise essays that feel both authentic and effective. We’ll focus on the Common App personal statement and UC Personal Insight Questions, looking closely at what makes a topic work and how to help students uncover meaningful material. Educators and counselors will practice using student-centered coaching moves, sample exercises, and practical feedback strategies that help students get unstuck and strengthen their essays. Participants will leave with adaptable resources and a clearer sense of how to support student voice, reflection, and clarity throughout the writing process.
