Karen Harris
My guest today is Dr. Karen Harris who joins us to talk about the role of strategy instruction for qualities of good writing such as focus, organization, and detail, as well as strategies for self-regulation. We’ll also discuss a recently-published meta-analysis she coauthored focused on effective professional development for teachers. I’m joined by my colleagues Lea Leibowitz and Lainie Powell in the second half of the episode where we’ll discuss practical strategies for writing you can use right away in the classroom, as well as our takeaways as leaders of professional development.
