| When Science and Literacy Meet: Creating Support for Teachers Implementing Writing in the Science Classroom |
This project supports K-12 teacher implementation of
writing to learn strategies in the classroom. The objective
is to produce two books and a professional development
manual designed. The goal is to strengthen classroom
instruction through writing to learn strategies. The first
book will focus on the elementary classroom (K-6) and the
second on secondary settings (grades 7-12). Each book will
undergo a rigorous process of field-testing, revision, and
re-testing in rural, suburban, and urban settings that reach
both pre-service and in-service professionals. The
professional development manual will support professional
development consultants to assist teachers using the books
and strategies.
