Abstract

Teachers as Writers

In the Masters of Science in Literacy Education at USM, we offer EDU 626: Writing Development and Instruction. During the seven modules for this asynchronous course, practicing teachers, literacy interventionists, and instructional coaches read peer-reviewed research, discussed best practices in writing education, and kept a field notebook of their own writing. Graduate students composed poems, personal narratives, and other writing based on provocations in our text: Keri Smith’s How to be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum. It is important to note that the graduate students were given a choice in their topics and they each selected their favorite piece for publication.
