Description
Writing in Education: The Art of Writing for Educators focuses on educators' professional journeys and discoveries about teaching, learning, writing, and self. This book offers insightful discussions about teaching practices, reflective writing, and digital and nondigital representations of meaning. It explores practical matters facing teachers and teacher candidates, such as communicating about one's practice, writing beyond content and page, or conducting classroom observations and maintaining field notes. This volume is divided into three main parts, each of which spotlights a Featured Assignment that examines an area of writing in education. The sample student work that is highlighted in each chapter is designed to support teachers and teacher candidates as they consider the importance and forms of writing as professionals in the field, as well as the roles of writing in their own current or future classrooms.
Reviews / Votes
"A must-read for everyone interested in the teaching of writing, Chase, Morabito, and Abrams have written a text that speaks to teachers, teacher candidates, and teacher educators. This book invites an engagement in provocative strategies and tools that help teachers think through and practice multiple forms of writing-from deep reflection to multimodal exploration, to certification-based reporting, and communicating with various stakeholders. It is a meaningful and practical guide that brings a fresh perspective to the art of and craft of teaching writing in online and in-person classrooms." - Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, author of Love from the Vortex & Other Poems, Associate Professor, English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University"In Writing in Education: The Art of Writing for Educators, Chase, Morabito, and Abrams make the powerful-and too often neglected-argument that being a teacher requires being a writer. This book points the way for how teachers can do professional writing that benefits themselves and, more importantly, their students." - Michael W. Smith, Professor, College of Education and Human Development, Temple University
