Taking the Long View: Learning From Longitudinal Studies of Writing

Sat, April 14, 8:15 to 9:45am, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Second Floor, Central Park East Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster section features six longitudinal studies of writing across varied age-spans and educational contexts. The first set of three posters highlights what has been learned to date in three empirical studies of writing with extended timeframes, while the second set foregrounds the theoretical implications learned from longitudinal work in literacy. Together, the presenters consider the variability of writers’ developmental pathways over time and in different contexts, contributing much needed perspectives for curricular policy and practice that work to support writers at all stages in their development. Included in the session will be an overview of each study from presenters and opportunities to interact with each presenter. The session will conclude with commentary from two discussants.
