SECONDARY GRADES 7–12


What Works in Writing Instruction


Research and Practice, 2nd Edition Deborah Dean


“What works?” As teachers, it’s a question we often ask ourselves about teaching writing, and it often summarizes other, more specific questions we have, such as


— What contributes to an effective climate for writing?


— What practices and structures best support effective writing instruction?


— What classroom content helps writers develop? — What tasks are most beneficial for writers learning to write?


Using teacher-friendly language and examples, Deborah Dean looks closely at instructional practices supported by research and weaves them together into accessible recommendations that can inspire teachers to find what works for their own classrooms and students. Initially based on the Carnegie Institute’s influential Writing Next report, this second edition of What Works in Writing Instruction looks at more types of research that have been conducted in the decade since the publication of that first research report. The new research rounds out its list of recommended practices and is designed to help teachers apply the findings to their unique classroom environments.

GRADES 9–12 Strategic Writing


The Writing Process and Beyond in the Secondary English Classroom, 2nd Edition Deborah Dean


Dean worked with high school teachers to refine, reorganize, and update the material in this book to better support classroom teachers dedicated to teaching not just the process of writing but also the strategies that help students learn


to write effectively throughout their lives. Along with engaging and practical mini-lesson classroom activities, this edition offers (1) lesson plans that differentiate between strategy, activity, and mini-lesson to show how all three function in a strategic approach; (2) a focus on digital tools and genres; (3) conceptual material in early, short chapters and the teaching ideas, examples of student work, and lesson plans in appendixes; and (4) grouping by types of strategies. Dean also considers students’ out-of-school as well as in-school writing tasks.

COLLEGE Sustainable WAC


A Whole Systems Approach to Launching and Developing Writing Across the Curriculum Programs


Michelle Cox, Jeffrey R. Galin, and Dan Melzer Foreword by Barbara E. Walvoord


A 2008 survey of Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programs found that nearly half of those identified in a 1987 survey no longer existed twenty years later, pointing to a need for an approach to WAC administration that


leads to programs that persist over time. In Sustainable WAC, three current or former WAC program directors introduce a theoretical framework for WAC program development that takes into account the diverse contexts of today’s institutions of higher education, aids WAC program directors in thinking strategically as they develop programs, and integrates a focus on program sustainability. Informed by theories that illuminate transformative change within systems and illustrated with vignettes by WAC directors across the country, this book lays out principles, strategies, and tactics to help WAC program directors launch, relaunch, or reinvigorate programs within the complicated systems of today’s colleges and universities.

COLLEGE Writing Together


Ten Weeks Teaching and Studenting in an Online Writing Course


Scott Warnock and Diana Gasiewski


As more and more college writing instructors are asked to teach online courses, the need for practical, day-to-day advice about what to expect in these courses and how to conduct them has grown. This


book narrates the experience of an asynchronous online writing course (OWC) through the dual perspective of the teacher, Scott, and a student, Diana Gasiewski. They each describe their strategies, activities, approaches, thoughts, and responses as they move week by week through the experience of teaching and taking an OWC. This narrative approach includes details about specific assignments and teaching strategies, and through the experience of the student author, OWC instructors will better understand how students perceive OWCs and navigate through them—and how students manage their lives in the context of distance education.
