Syllabus
“…[M]ost elementary teachers still fail to
involve the persons with the most potential
to impact positively the writing development
of their students—parents. It is time that
teachers aggressively seek parental
involvement and create ways to make it
possible.”
-- Olga Howard Fisher & Chester Fisher
The Journal of Teaching Writing
Research
“When most of today’s parents were in school,
the focus of writing was likely on grammar
and handwriting, not creative writing for
different purposes. Presenting information
on the criteria expected in our district and
state standards to families opens new doors
for writing beyond the classroom.”
-- Kathy Brashears
