Sustainable Practices through Purposeful Partnering at Shoreline
Excerpt
Ensuring that Syre student-writers would perform at higher levels when teachers act according to in-common understandings, agreements, and practices in the teaching of writing served as the plan’s rationale as well as its proponents’ essential assumption. Informed by their individual involvement with one or more PSWP or other writing project programs (e.g., invitational summer institutes and/or open institutes), lessons learned through shared teaching materials and instructional approaches, and grade-level team discussions regarding student-writer strengths and weaknesses, Syre teacher-leaders and their principal framed a school improvement plan (SIP). As it turned out, the plan’s conceptual framework naturally, although not intentionally, corresponded with central National Writing Project principles.
