One of my greatest NCTE joys have been the times members of the Moving Writers team have gotten to join forces at NCTE. I love these people — their deeply-felt philosophies about teaching writing to make a difference in children’s learning and lives, their practical, boots-on-the-ground, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that brilliance.
Here are some of the resources from our session:

Help! Do you have a copy of the slide with the photo from the students’ notebooks about “How I Learn”? It isn’t in the pdf of resources! Thanks!
Hi, the team decided not to include student photos or student work. The chart had learning strategy, what it helped me do, how I might use it in the future.
