Teaching Secondary Students to Write Effectively (A set of recommendations to address challenges in classrooms and schools)

Аннотация

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) publishes practice guides to provide educators with the best available evidence and expertise on current challenges in education. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) develops practice guides in conjunction with an expert panel, combining the panel’s expertise with the findings of existing rigorous research to produce specific recommendations for addressing these challenges. The WWC and the panel rate the strength of the research evidence supporting each of their recommendations. See Appendix A for a full description of practice guides and Appendix D for a full list of the studies used to support the evidence rating for each recommendation. The goal of this practice guide is to offer educators specific, evidence-based recommendations that address the challenges of teaching students in grades 6–12 to write effectively. This guide synthesizes the best publicly available research and shares practices that are supported by evidence. It is intended to be practical and easy for teachers to use.
