Resources and tools by educators for the teaching of writing

Molly Robbins of the Denver Writing Project offers students a road map to have hard conversations with people with whom they fundamentally disagree. After working on civil conversations and participating in the 3D Digital Democratic Dialogue Project, some of her students of color were empowered to speak at a professional development day for teachers, creating a powerful experience that shifted the conversation toward creating a more generative space where students feel included in their education.

The Choice and Voice team, made up of six elementary teachers from rural Bastrop, Texas and a Teacher Consultant with the Heart of Texas Writing Project, embarked on a year-long journey of deep professional development to create responsive curriculum that grows authentic, enthusiastic, and motivated writers in our rural Title I Kindergarten-3rd grade classrooms.
