Casework in K6 Writing Instruction

Casework in K6 Writing Instruction is a collection of teaching cases that feature real teachers, real students, and real examples of K6 writing instruction. Using student/teacher dialogue and reader-friendly narration, each case author describes a teachers 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 K6 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.
