Rethinking Schools: Writing that Works

Just a few lines to greet the summer months with you. Isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy these beautifully crafted days of sun and glorious colors?

As educators, we are always looking for new insights...what might enrich our strategies...and what might be a great hook for igniting new learning and mastery with our students. Well here is an article that will give you some "much needed" refueling.

Linda Christensen has written an article about the "Joy and Justice" of teaching language arts to her students. What she learned from her students guided exceptional voices within the Portland school district. Her mastery of the dreaded "red pen," will begin renovating your institutionalized thinking about "correcting" student work vs. "inspiring" the writer within the student.

Enjoy rethinking your style,
