  • Students possess knowledge about written language and a variety of forms of writing; quality instruction reflects students’ experience and knowledge.
  • Writing is a social activity; writing instruction should be embedded in social contexts. Students can take responsibility in shaping the classroom structures that facilitate their work.
  • Writing is effectively used as a tool for thinking and learning throughout the curriculum.
  • Assessment that both benefits individual writers and their teachers’ instructional planning is embedded within curricular experiences and represented by collections of key pieces of writing created over time.
  • Authors and teachers who write can offer valuable insights to students by mentoring them into process and making their own writing processes more visible.
  • Technology provides writers the opportunity to create and present writing in new and increasingly flexible ways, particularly in combination with other media.
