Description

"Chris Hall uses mindset language (optimism and persistence, thinking flexibly and staying open to new learning, empathy, transfer, risk-taking, metacognition) to shift writing instruction back to the writer's identity. Revision isn't a stage of the writing process but an awareness that's present through all stages of writing: What did I think before and what do I think right now? How do I reconcile those two ideas to create something good? Cultivating this awareness leads not only to students' greater agency but also skill growth (as Chris's student examples show)"--
