Shelley Harwayne has been rethinking the teaching of writing ever since she opened the Manhattan New School ten years ago. There, as principal, she had the unique opportunity to follow her students' growth as writers from the very first day they entered kindergarten through graduation six years later. Now, as superintendent of her New York City school district, Shelley continues to take a hard look at the teaching of writing across schools and throughout the grades, questioning what has become traditional practice.

How can I tap into the interests and attitudes young students bring to the writing workshop? How can I approach revision with children's sensitivities and strengths in mind? Are the genres I've been assigning really appropriate for young writers? How can I help young writers make deliberate and long-lasting connections to the literature they read? How can I simplify publishing so that children joyfully and frequently publish high-quality work?
