When was the last time you shook up your writing instruction?
Shawna Coppola's new book is built on the premise that our students
are ever-changing, and so is our global landscape. While there's
nothing inherently wrong with relying on instructional strategies
that have worked in the past, Shawna challenges writing teachers to
rethink and revise their practice regularly--leading to the renewal
of their professional lives. By looking at whether a practice
matches students' needs and interests and examining whether it fits
into what we know about children and learning and then adjusting
our teaching accordingly, we can nurture students to become
critical thinkers, problem solvers, and risk takers in the writing
classroom and beyond. Shawna uses a framework of Rethinking,
Revising, and Renewing to examine the most pervasive educational
practices in writing instruction and to help ask the questions
necessary in order to revise those practices so that they are
effective for all students. She describes why it's vital to engage
in this challenging work and goes on to examine some of the most
ubiquitous practices, including what it means to write, the tools
typically used to teach writing, and how writing is often assessed.
She also offers ideas for how teachers can nurture their own
writing lives and thus reinvigorate their instructional practice.
