National Commission on Writing
“If students are to make knowledge their own, they must struggle with the details, wrestle with the facts, and rework raw information and dimly understood concepts into language they can communicate to someone else. In short, if students are to learn, they must write.”

Urgency for writing instruction
• Literacy rates• Graduation rates• Common Core• College preparedness• Career readiness• Global competitiveness• Teacher training

misconceptions• What improves reading does not always
improve writing. • Although writing and reading are both vital
aspects of literacy, they each require their own dedicated instruction.
• Literacy skills do not just develop as a child grows older.

Leading Change
• Establish a “Moral Imperative”• Focus the schools on goals and expectations
for student achievement• Develop teacher capacity• Create structures and opportunities for
teacher collaboration• Empower understanding of effective writing
instruction
![Page 12: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What concerns you about your school/district writing instruction?
![Page 13: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Current writing realities • Teacher-dependent instruction• Absence of writing opportunities • Ambiguous expectations• Instructional overkill• Inconsistent feedback• Convention drill & kill
![Page 14: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Teacher-dependent instruction
![Page 15: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Absence of writing activity
• NCLB – Time mandates for Math and Reading
• Absence of research-proven writing programs
• Dependence on graphic organizers
![Page 16: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ambiguous expectations
• Subjective grading practices (A,B,C…)• Complex rubrics• “Summer Vacation” writing assignments• Inconsistent internal school/department
expectations for student writing
![Page 17: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Teacher expectations

Instructional overkill
• Examples – 5 paragraph essay, figurative language, engaging beginning, dialogue…
![Page 19: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inconsistent feedback
What concerns do you have about how teachers provide feedback to students
about their writing?
![Page 20: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
conventions
![Page 21: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Convention drill & kill• “Isolated grammar instruction has negative
impact on student writing.” Writing Next
• Easiest way to critique & give feedback
• Quickest way to destroy student interest/confidence

writing time
“If waiting writing time is always changing, always haphazard, children remain pawns,
waiting for their teacher’s agenda.”Lucy Calkins

#5 Teacher collaboration
Researched Outcomes• Belief in efficacy / job satisfaction• Instructional decisions• Collegial relationships• Student achievement
![Page 36: CRITICAL THINKING, RIGOROUS WRITING SUPPORTING RIGOROUS, COMMON CORE ALIGNED WRITING INSTRUCTION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1acb7f8b9ab05996f832/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“School leaders undermine teacher trust when they give verbal support to collaboration but fail to provide the time and resources for teachers to work together. To be effective, teacher teams may need changes in scheduling, access to student data, professional development and other forms of support.”
Rand Report, 2003
