Writing Workshop
WORKSHOP PHILOSOPHY
"At the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, we have been working for three decades to develop, pilot, revise, and implement state-of-the art curriculum in writing. We have had a chance to do this work under the influence of Common Core for the past few years, and this series—this treasure chest of experiences, theories, techniques, tried-and-true methods, and questions—will bring the results of that work to you."
-Lucy Calkins

Writers read.
Students deserve clear goals and frequent feedback.
