Creating Inclusive Writing Environments in the K-12 Classroom: Reluctance, Resistance, and Strategies that Make a Difference

What happens when creative writing meets the maker space?
Easy! Writing and making collide, revealing the genius inside of even the most reluctant writers.
In Make Writing, teacher, author, writing coach, Angela Stockman, turns teaching strategies and practice upside down. She spills you out of your chair, shreds your lined paper, and launches you and your writer's workshop into the maker space! Who even knew this was possible? In classic Hack Learning style, Stockman provides five right-now writing strategies that reinvent instruction and inspire both young and adult writers to express ideas with tools and in ways that have rarely, if ever, been considered. 
Combining Making and Writing
Many schools are converting classrooms to maker spaces--vibrant places where students demonstrate learning by constructing things, applying newly-learned skills and concepts. With inspired creativity and ingenuity, Stockman shows you how to bring modern maker moves into your writer's workshop, giving birth to a new environment that rockets writers to places that were previously unimaginable. Make Writing is a fast-paced journey inside Stockman's Young Writer's Studio, alongside students who learn how to write and how to make, employing Stockman's unique teaching methods.

The Writing Teacher’s Guide to Pedagogical Documentation

This book is a call to action for English and English Language Arts teachers who understand that data are not numbers alone, learning is impossible to quantify, and students are our very best teachers. Writing teacher Angela Stockman shows us how pedagogical documentation--the practice of making learning visible, capturing what is seen and heard, and then, interpreting those findings in the company of our students and our colleagues--is a humbling and humane practice that grounds what we think we've come to know in the lived experiences of those we intend to serve. In this rich resource, she offers: <ul> <li>processes and protocols for documenting learning and analyzing data; </li> <li>resources and planning tools to help you design and execute your own projects; and</li> <li>a digital documentation notebook that you can download for guidance, inspiration, and examples.</li> </ul>With the powerful tools in this book, you'll be inspired to reach students whose needs have been ignored by big data and whose identities have been erased by oppressive forms of assessment and evaluation.

Writing Workshop Is More Than Just Writing
Agility matters. This is what Angela Stockman learned when she left the classroom over a decade ago to begin supporting young writers and their teachers in schools. What she learned transformed her practice and led to the publication of her primer on this topic: Make Writing: 5 Teaching Strategies that Turn Writer’s Workshop Into a Maker Space. Now, Angela is back with more stories from the road and plenty of new thinking to share.
Print Creates Barriers for Talented Writers
As K-12 programs push for proficiency, the world continues to demand something different. Something more. "Writing is bigger than print today," Angela says. "When we diminish it, we diminish writers, too."
Redesign with Making in Mind
In Make Writing, Angela Stockman upended the traditional writing workshop by combining it with the popular ideas that drive the maker space.
Now, she is expanding her concepts and strategies and breaking new ground in Hacking the Writing Workshop. In this easy-to-read-and-implement guide for all teachers of reading, writing, and making, Angela provides:
<ul>
<li>Curriculum frameworks that bring students to the drawing board</li>
<li>Firestarters that ignite even the most print-resistant kids</li>
<li>Agility building strategies that integrate making and writing and invite loose parts play</li>
<li>Assessment protocols and tools</li>
<li>Supplemental resources for each Hack, accessed through QR codes</li>
</ul>
