Meta-Analysis of Writing Practices: Grades 1 to 12

• In Event: 14.019 - Advances in Writing Instruction, Assessment, and Interventions

Abstract

To meet writing objectives specified in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), many teachers need to make significant changes in how writing is taught. While CCSS identified what students need to master, it does not provide guidance as to how teachers are to meet these writing benchmarks. The current meta-analysis presents research supported practices that can be used to meet CCSS writing objectives in grades 1 to 12 based on a new meta-analysis of writing intervention studies, which included true- and quasi-experiments.
