As teachers of writing, we have great hopes for our students. And we also have a lot of questions. Where do we start? How can we empower young writers? How can we ensure our students progress in their writing? How can we get them to take risks? And the list could go on and on. If you are asking these same questions, Patty McGee has some advice for you.
While writing through the lens of feedback, McGee pulls from educational research, learning theories, and her own action research which is why this resource is one that will speak to all writing teachers. Your thinking will be deepened on topics such as:
- The need for growth mindset
- How feedback can work inside a system that requires marks
- The importance of the writer’s identity
- Strategies to try when writers are stuck
- Goal setting
- Choice, ownership and agency
- Reflecting for Learning
