BECOMING A TEACHER OF WRITING IN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS D.K.Phillips 1st-EDITION---

Welcome!

Welcome to the Companion Website for Becoming a Teacher of Writing in Elementary Classrooms by Donna Kalmbach Phillips and Mindy Legard Larson

Becoming a Teacher of Writing in Elementary Classrooms nurtures teachers’ identities as writers, connects to the realities of writing instruction in real and diverse classrooms, and encourages critical and creative thinking. Linking practice and theory to the fundamentals of becoming a teacher of writing, this text is about writing instruction as a journey teachers and students embark on together. The focus is on learning how to teach writing through specific teaching and learning structures found in the Writing Studio: mini-lessons; teacher and peer conferencing; guided writing; and sharing, celebrating, and broadcasting writing. 

Enhancing and extending the text, the Companion Website features curriculum tools, examples of student writing, and the following video content:

  • Interviews with elementary school teachers
  • Writing lesson demonstrations
  • Teacher–student writing conferences
  • Peer collaborations and classroom projects
  • and more
