Description: WriteBoston works with public high school teachers to support and strengthen the teaching of writing. A writing coach and ELL teacher will present the process of pre-assessment at the beginning of the school year, rubrics, and a norming session used to read and evaluate student writing, collaborative planning that develops learning outcomes in response to student writing, lessons and materials designed to support achievement of learning outcomes, and summative assessments used to assess progress. The workshop leaders will: 1) present the process WriteBoston uses; 2) engage participants in identifying a writing issue from data and designing a lesson to target it; and, 3) discuss the practical challenges of executing the overall process.
