Because Writing Matters: Improving Student Writing in Our Schools, Revised Edition

“I just finished a fantastic book about writing. In about 120 pages, the authors synthesize years of insights into writing, instruction, professional development, and assessment…I felt like I learned something new with each page, or found on each page some important new validation for what I already do in my own classroom.”-- Jim Burke, author and educator, Burlingame High School, California, CATEnet
