Based on the Ruckdeschel (2010) peer coaching model, teachers learn to teach developing writers a modified and age appropriate method for giving and receiving peer feedback through goal-setting, problem-solving, and editing work as it feeds independent writing capacity - and it's never too early to begin! Research-based practices that directly impact young writers will be reviewed and practiced with as they apply to specific developmental milestones. **This course includes a copy of the book Conversations for Young Writers, by Susan Ruckdeschel.
Course objectives:
- Plan and practice with the Ruckdeschel three-step protocol for student peer coaching.
- Develop working knowledge of the Ruckdeschel peer review model and protocol.
- Plan and use the tools and resources for successful implementation of the process for young and developing writers.
