Writing through Childhood

Shelley Harwayne has been rethinking the teaching of writing ever since she opened the Manhattan New School ten years ago.

Now, as superintendent of her New York City school district, Shelley continues to take a hard look at the teaching of writing across schools and throughout the grades, questioning what has become traditional practice.

In this volume, Shelley dares us to rethink our beliefs about how we teach writing.

Her book will inspire rich conversations in which educators ask essential questions about their own practice.
