S2E5: Help Students Own their Writing

Rooted in Language Podcast

Rita and Claire continue the Season 2 deep learning discussion with a student story! Rita tells the efforts and results from one of her students as he moves through learning high level writing. Successful writing is based in carefully practiced skills and deep understanding of the writing process--understanding that only comes from ongoing experience with explicit guidance. As educators, it is our job to guide students using shared writing strategies. Rita and Claire talk about how to provide perspective and approaches that inspire deep learning and deep understanding.
