Ruth and I  submitted our manuscript to Stenhouse.  Day By Day: Refining Writing Workshop Through 180 Days of Reflective Practice will be available this fall.

Will you be attending the NCTE Annual Convention in November?  If so, I hope you'll consider attending a session I'm chairing on Friday, November  20th, 2009 for four educators from California.  The session is entitled "Integrating Blogs, Podcasting, and Digital Videos into 4th and 5th Grade Language Arts Classes."  Click here to add this session, B.17, to your NCTE Schedule.

If you're in Central Pennsylvania on October 22nd, I hope you'll register for the CAWP's WordFest 2009: A Celebration of Writing.  I will be presenting a session for elementary teachers entitled "Well-Chosen Words About Slices of Real Life."

I'm delighted to be a judge for the Poetry books of the 2009 Cybils. 

I am writing a book, along with Ruth Ayres, for Stenhouse Publishers.  The working title of the book is Writing 180, which defines six essential areas of Writing Workshop (assessment, choice, conferring, mentor texts, minilessons, and routines/procedures), with celebration/sharing woven in throughout each of the six areas.    Each essential area will contain three ten-day cycles to inspire and support teachers as they work to lift the level of the Writing Workshops they lead during the school year.
