Our instructional approach is based on strategy instruction and self-regulation.
We are also interested in professional and research collaborations. Such collaborations can benefit teachers’ instruction and students’ writing achievement. Further, such collaborations can advance the knowledge of the research community on “what works” in real setting and with real students long-term!
Contact us if you are interested in scheduling a workshop or a series of workshops at your school/college or at your school district.
