Críticas

What educators are saying about The Write Direction "I would whole-heartedly recommend this book. I think that it is especially useful to beginning teachers because it incorporates into one place the wealth of expertise and experience a teacher needs to be effective. It takes lots of reading, years of experience and loads of training to attain the levels of these authors' understanding." --Coby Troidl, North Collins CSD, North Collins, NY "I don't know of another book that addresses [these]same issues. [The Write Direction]gives teachers a lot to think about in terms of teaching the principles and practice of good writing without being prescriptive. Good writing in school leads to better learning and higher grades therefore more opportunity. This is a message that all teachers need to get." --Clare Oderman, Cedar Park Middle School, Portland, OR

Reseña del editor

The Write Direction is an innovative book that guides teachers on how to teach writing, including the connection to the writing students will encounter once they leave school. The book examines the importance of teacher as writer, classroom environment, writing process, and six traits of writing and how teachers can implement these concepts. The Write Direction connects classroom writing instruction to the world students will face once they leave school and enter the workplace. The authors believe that students need to explore and practice writing assignments that better prepare them for the writing they will undertake once they leave school. Unfortunately, many teachers do not know what types of writing employers in the business world expect their employees to be able to produce. Therefore, every chapter provides specific activities for teachers to undertake as they work to improve their writing instruction. Suggestions for incorporating appropriate writing assignments that connect to workplace writing are also included. The book also provides suggestions for managing the crucial issues facing new teachers in today's classroom: testing, grading, and long-range planning.
