2fer

Yes, I know...don't post for a week and then post twice in one day! Is that like BOGO? Or a 2fer1?

So, in doing some research for a class project (which I had to change twice due to a few unknowns) I came across this great study, the Leadership in Writing Institute in the Ferguson-Florissant School District Study. I'm sure Peabody knows of this because he talked about this very concept!

OK, so, why am I so excited? Because, there are very few English teachers, instructors, educators who believe in this concept. Why? That, I cannot understand.

So, if you are interested to know why it just might be a good thing for teachers to write along with their students, check out the link!

If you don't think it is a good idea, I'd be curious as to why.

Sherman,

I've read the study proposal you linked to. I'm curious about which of the notions of "inquiry" it refers to. I'm also curious about the results of the study. Are they published anywhere?

Peabody,

I'll have to re-read the article to answer your "inquiry" question.
And, after an hour of research, I cannot find a link to the study results. I have emailed the school district in hopes of getting the information that way. I'll let you know what I find out!
