Characteristics of Effective Writing Instruction
The focus of this presentation is to explore what some of the research and theory says about characteristics of effective writing instruction and the writing process. This resource begins with time for writing and reflection on educators’ beliefs about the teaching of writing. It is important to spend some time talking about these beliefs to note commonalities or things that may be non-negotiable in your context.
