This unique resource gives teachers everything they need to set up and manage a successful writing workshop in a high school classroom. By creating a classroom centered on writing, the workshop approach helps students develop skills and strategies for mastering numerous writing tasks and genres. After introducing the workshop's fundamental principles and methods, the book explains how to guide students through the entire writing process, from planning and drafting to revising, giving and receiving feedback, editing, and publishing their work. Guidelines for valid, reliable assessment and evaluation of student work are included. Enhancing the book's utility are numerous tables, figures, and "How's it done?" boxes that offer classroom-tested tools and tips.

"Concise, comprehensive, and well written, this book will be eminently useful to beginning and experienced teachers alike. Berne reviews essential concepts and components of teaching the writing process. She offers research-based practices for creating writing communities where all students can become fluent, knowledgeable, and motivated authors. This is a refreshing, much-needed book that effectively brings the teaching and learning of writing back to their place of central importance in the high school curriculum."--Susan Florio-Ruane, EdD, Department of Teacher Education and Literacy Achievement Research Center, Michigan State University
"Berne provides a clear framework for successful implementation of the writing workshop, including practical strategies and organizational tools. The benefits of allowing students to take control of their learning--while maintaining high standards--resonate in each chapter. Berne's structured approach to a workshop-based classroom is the key to program sustainability. I recommend this book for both new and experienced writing workshop teachers."--Nancy Bartosz, MEd, Assistant Principal, Westmont High School, Westmont, Illinois
