LRA Writing Research Study Group: Writing Reform and Sustainability With Holten Kvistad, Gustaf Skar, Linda Grace, Edy Leverette, Stephany Smith, Zoi Philippakos, and Charles MacArthur

Session Submission Type: Study Group

Abstract

Educational reforms strive for the implementation of practices that support learners’ academic performance and instructors’ pedagogical content knowledge and skill. Reforms are not always fruitful and writing reform efforts at scale are not as much examined as reading ones. The sessions will address professional development and examine reform and sustainability plans and efforts at a country level for K to 12 learners, at a K to 8 district level, and at the postsecondary level.
