Information<\/span><\/h2><\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Who’s participating?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Students attending elementary schools in Florida Atlantic University Laboratory Schools and the School District of Palm Beach County. They participated for one year.<\/p>\n

What are we learning?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The researchers will explore two aims across two different text genres, narrative and opinion:
\n1) the relations between writing skills and writing performance; and,
\n2) how the importance or strength of these writing skills differs across grades 1 through 5 and how writing skills relate to writing quality.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"First<\/p>\n

We are developing an empirical framework to improve elementary school writing assessment and instruction. By understanding writing constructs, teachers can help students develop the corresponding skills. Furthermore, a writing framework will provide a strong foundation for creating age-specific measures and more effective tools for monitoring progress. Teachers can then apply specific constructs when planning instruction or providing feedback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
