Summary ""This book is an instructive call to action for all of us who need to be reminded of what hope enacted as classroom practice can look like."" -Cornelius Minor Every classroom is shaped by the skills, languages, social and cultural identities, perspectives, and passions of the children within it. When you approach writing instruction with a deep understanding of children in your classroom, everything else-assessment, planning, differentiated instruction, mentor and shared texts-begins to fall into place. And you can teach writing with inclusion, equity, and agency at the forefront. Authors
