student self-assessment—in order to help teachers take a practical approach to the task of facilitating well-structured, timely, authentic student writing, review, and revision in their classrooms.
ASSESSMENT AND PROGRESS MONITORING
Writable helps teachers administer pre- and post- writing assessments to quickly gauge students’ growth in each genre of writing. Schools can organize and monitor their writing program goals, while teachers group students for instruction and adjust their lessons based on individual needs.
FLEXIBLE IMPLEMENTATION
Writable can adapt to fit your current core literacy curriculum, district-adapted rubrics, or a set of state-specific writing priorities. Assignments and rubrics can be shared across a district—and across subject areas—for a more unified writing program tied to core skills.
• Teachers model what good writing and review looks like with a speci c skill in mind, and then a guided activity to discuss during whole-group instruction.
• Teachers demonstrate key skills, strategies, and techniques for students using mentor texts, including modeled student writing, embedded model writing spotlights, and self- curated model texts they upload themselves.
• Students work independently, writing and reviewing short, genre-based submissions related to classroom instruction or writing in response to texts or media on topics of personal interest.
