Casework in K-6 Writing Instruction (eBook, ePUB)

Connecting Composing Strategies, Digital Literacies, and Disciplinary Content to the Common Core

Beschreibung

Casework in K-6 Writing Instruction is a collection of teaching cases that feature real teachers, real students, and real examples of K-6 writing instruction. Using student/teacher dialogue and reader-friendly narration, each case author describes a teacher's use of print and/or media-based tools to teach students how to write for literacy and disciplinary purposes. Rather than focusing on one particular method, this book features multiple methods, such as writing workshop, 6+1 Traits, and balanced literacy, presented through authentic classroom examples. The book includes a view of writing instruction across grade levels, disciplines, and contexts. Current and future classroom teachers will be interested in the practical application and various viewpoints presented throughout the book. Casework in K-6 Writing Instruction could be used in teacher study groups, professional learning communities, undergraduate courses, Masters courses, and professional development seminars at the local, national, and international levels.

Rezensionen

«Jenifer Jasinski Schneider presents instructional writing scenarios in a no-nonsense, straightforward approach to address writing using a model of gradual release. This is critical to promote the necessity for students taking ownership of their own learning. These scenarios demonstrate prime examples of students thinking critically, engaging in discussion to shape their ideas, and writing to cement their thoughts. Educators will find great value as they pore through the pages of this resource.» (Kerry Padrick, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Communication, St. Lucie Public Schools)
«'Casework in K-6 Writing Instruction' offers a unique collection of classroom examples which can be used as instructional

models (or non-examples) for teachers. The analytic reflections following each case are helpful in identifying hot topics that would stimulate discussions and heated debate ... This is the first methods text I have found which illustrates various models and instructional strategies for teaching writing. I truly appreciate the eclectic approach which represents the reality of teaching writing in schools.» (Christine Reilly, Assistant Professor of Reading, Georgia Gwinnett College)
«'Casework in K-6 Writing Instruction' provides a much-needed resource for teachers, administrators, coaches, and curriculum specialists who are navigating the sometimes rough waters of our new standards implementation. Schneider's book offers wonderful stories of how teachers help students to become the kind of writers these new standards require: writers who are thoughtful about the messages they want to communicate. Whether looking for a resource to help a beginning teacher or one that provides rich next steps in supporting a writing curriculum, this book would be a valuable addition to an educator's professional library.» (Sherry Moser, Elementary Literacy Curriculum Specialist, Polk County Public Schools)
