**This course is for students in grades 6 through 8. Students learn the nuts and bolts of student-centered peer coaching, to include goal-setting, troubleshooting, giving and receiving feedback. Most important, students learn how to use feedback that works, and disregard what does not as it works into their own writing goals. This research-based program builds the capacity of student writers, and has proven to improve student writing performance on standardized assessments in adolescent writers. The peer coaching model is based on the Ruckdeschel (2010) method for student peer coaching, and includes ancillary materials for application and implementation.
