Tools to Promote Instructional Change
“What we do has little impact unless
we are cognizant of how to do those
things in the most effective ways and
for legitimate purposes.”
- Good to Great Teaching
by Mary Howard, 2012
Primary Agent of Assessment
Peter Johnston’s new book:
RTI in Literacy: Responsive and Comprehensive
“Regardless of grade,
students’ development
looks different – so, too,
must literacy instruction.”
Growth Mindset & Skill Progressions

Teaching students to measure their work
against a progression of skills requires:

A vision for the writing work

An expectation that all writers are capable of
sharing that vision, as partners in the process
Peter Elbow’s Evolution as a Writer

Started with a fixed mindset

Then…

“I couldn’t write when I tried to write
everything right. And I could write
when I let myself write things wrong.”
Teachers of writers need…

Learning progressions across units of study

Tools that can be used for multiple purposes

Processes for looking at writing with colleagues
Teachers of writers need…

Exemplars of work at all stages

Lesson design with structures for differentiation

Flexibility to USE data to adjust instruction
