A New Classic from the Leading Authority on Writing Workshop
In Teaching Writing, Lucy Calkins shares the depth and breadth of her knowledge, from the initial research that launched some of the biggest ideas still foundational to the teaching of writing today, to her newest insights gleaned from decades of work and study in thousands of classrooms across the globe.
New for School Leaders
In Leading Well: Building Schoolwide Excellence in Reading and Writing, Lucy Calkins draws on the transformative work that she and her colleagues at the Reading & Writing Project have done in partnership with school leaders over the last thirty years. This book, like the work of the Reading & Writing Project itself, is deeply research-based and principled, while also absolutely practical and real-world tested.
