It is full of pragmatic tools to increase both the quantity and the quality of writing in schools. Not haughty or esoteric, it is relevant, accessible and, above all, a practical guidebook that presents ways by which writing within the educational landscape can be improved."</br> <i>—<b>Essays in Education</b></i> <p>"I just finished a fantastic book about writing. In about 120 pages, the authors synthesize years of insights into writing, instruction, professional development, and assessment… I felt like I learned something new with each page, or found on each page some important new validation for what I already do in my own classroom."</br> —<b>Jim Burke,</b> moderator, CATENet, and author, <i>The Reader's Handbook</i> and <i>The English Teacher's Companion</i> <p>"This book is must-reading for teachers, school district leaders, and policy makers who wish to restore writing to its rightful place in student learning."</br> —<b>Donald Graves</b>, Professor Emeritus, Education, University of New Hampshire
