Writing for Understanding

Description

The goal for teachers in writing instruction is not to “assign” writing and then see if the students can do it. Rather, the goal is to think about what students will need to write effectively and then plan instruction to make sure students can do it.

For students to have genuine access to instruction like this, teachers need help planning, so that students can write successfully and effectively and even joyfully, and still have time for recess — and so that the teacher still has time to do her laundry.

This book is written to help make that teacher planning possible, manageable, and workable. This new edition has Common Core Standards preface.
