Hey there amazing teacher and welcome to the blog!
Here I share my thoughts on all the things I believe writing instruction needs and how you can make it happen in your classroom.
I have spent many years learning about writing and the teaching of writing through my own teaching, attending a variety of professional development, reading many books on writing from various experts and mentors, and working alongside fabulous teachers like you!
Through it all, I have found that providing high-quality, effective writing instruction to students requires more than knowledge of the structure of mini-lessons or how to manage individual conferences. Teachers of writing must have an understanding of what writers truly need to be successful, and that is what I hope to share!
