3 reviews for Writer’s Workshop for the Common Core

  1. Leslie Snyder, Middle School Advanced English Teacher, Casa Grande Elementary School District

    This book would be ideal for the Administrative/Academic coaches who are responsible for staff development in their buildings. I was “wowed” beyond belief!

  2. Ingrid Jones, Ph.D., Professional Learning Specialist, Caroosa County Schools

    A book that makes writer’s workshop with the common core state standards manageable and doable, is a book that is long overdue.

  3. Dr. Allen Berger, Childhood & Exceptional Student Education, Armstrong Atlantic State University

    Too often students’ ideas are left out of education. Not so in this book, which gives power to students and help to teachers. Warren Combs’ voice engages the reader as he blends a deep understanding of research and practice with state and national trends and standards. The respect shown to teachers and other educators is as appealing as the quotations about writing and life.
