Think.
Ultimately, writing is simply the act of recording our inner voice for others to read, which makes the link between clear writing and deep thinking undeniable. Because great writing and great thinking are inseparable, learning to write well is not a luxury or clever skill-it is a necessity. From start to finish, Dakoda will always make the writer think first. And then, think better!

Once employed-whether in a classroom or across an entire district-teachers can focus more fully on their unique teaching style, creating the space to connect with every student. After all, this is the heart of why most educators chose the profession: building meaningful, one-on-one connections with learners.

Write.
Imagine being able to write about anything. When carefully chosen words and well-shaped sentences bring your ideas to life, you can't wait to share them-with your parents, your teacher, or even your community. That feeling of pride only comes when you know the words are truly yours.

The Writing About Anything (WAA) protocol takes the mystery out of writing for every student. It provides clear steps to get started and guides them through each stage of the process until their work is complete. With WAA, teacher-student communication about writing becomes clear, specific, and focused on real growth.

By making something often seen as subjective and far more objective, WAA ensures that students of every ability can improve. Writing is your voice-today and for the future.
