Synopsis: Welcome to Writing Workshop will help both novice and veteran teachers implement their own workshops in their own classrooms with more confidence. Reading specialists and support teachers can benefit from the experiences and descriptions of key components of writing workshop since they often support struggling readers and writers in small-group situations. This book is for administrators, too, who will observe writing workshops and offer praise and polish. The authors have used their combined years of classroom experience as writing teachers and literacy coaches to share real classroom experiences and validate their suggestions and conclusions. This book will be useful for professional learning communities and teacher-initiated partnerships and book clubs to grow in confidence and knowledge of how a teacher of writers builds and maintains a community of writers in writing workshop.
