Importance of Writing
“…writing is assumed to be the vehicle through which a great deal of the reading work and reading assessments will occur.”
(Calkins, Ehrenworth, & Lehman, 2012, p. 102)
![Page 12: Common Core Writing: Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681613b550346895dd09ba3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Writing must become part of the bill of rights for all students.”
(Calkins, Ehrenworth, and Lehman, 2012, p. 111)
![Page 13: Common Core Writing: Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681613b550346895dd09ba3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Mostly, then, the Common Core writing standards seem utterly aligned to the writing process tradition that is well established across the states, with a few new areas of focus and a raised bar for the quality of writing we should expect students to produce.”
(Calkins, Ehrenworth, & Lehman, 2012, p. 112)
![Page 14: Common Core Writing: Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681613b550346895dd09ba3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HOW DO WE BEGIN WRITING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM?

“…not the work that strong writers occasionally produce, but the work that all students should be expected to produce – and to produce regularly with independence.”
(Calkins, Ehrenworth, & Lehman, 2012, p. 102)

“The English Teacher’s Red Pen”
“One form of mis-assessment that lingers in our English classes is the intensive correction of student writing.”
(Daniels, 2005, p. 46)

Back in the Day…
• Tennessee Tech• Writing folder• Harbrace• Students corrected errors, charted them on a
table (comma splice, fragment, capitalization of numbers, spelling errors, etc.)

Students We Now Teach
• Millennials (born 1982 – 2002) • Constructivists– Social collaboration– Writer’s Workshop
![Page 31: Common Core Writing: Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681613b550346895dd09ba3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Students We Now Teach• Helicopter Parents– “most watched-over generation”
“Given this life experience of care and boundaries, Millennial Generation learners expect structure and mentoring in their learning environment. They desire specific guidelines (e.g., rubrics) that detail what is expected in their performance. They have become accustomed to someone else's setting parameters for their creativity, active engagement, and interactionfor their knowledge acquisition to be pursued.”
(Carter, 2008, p. 7)

Student Learning
“Students whose teachers were more able (high human capital) and also had stronger ties with their peers (strong social capital) showed the highest gains in (math) achievement.”
(Leana, 2011, p. 34)

Sharing Craft Knowledge
“I’ve got this great idea about how to teach math without ability-grouping the kids.”
Big Deal. What’s she after… a promotion?

“We cannot order collaboration. This is not a dictatorship. Moreover, while shotgun marriages sometimes turn out surprisingly well, shotgun collaboration is a contradiction in terms. And no amount of artificial organization, no joint institutes, or combined reviewing committees, or joint directors, will come within the squirting range of a syringe of getting at the heart of the matter.”(Bush, 1957, p. 53 as quoted in Gunawardena & Agosto, 2010)

Final Thought
“Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines”
Possibly not cross-curricular as much as across the curriculum
![Page 55: Common Core Writing: Writing That Lives Across All Disciplines](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/5681613b550346895dd09ba3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
