In the presence of a professional writer, students often become energized about reading, and they learn to enjoy writing as a craft.
As their writing skills expand, so does their self-confidence, and they begin to experiment with a variety of forms and styles. In particular, WiR teachers encourage students to write from their own experience. This approach helps students not only to discover the value of their own stories but to recognize that, as writers, they are contributing to the broader conversation that is literature.
Following the best practices set out by the Writers in the Schools Alliance , a national coalition of writers-in-the-schools programs based in Houston, our writers are selected on the basis of their knowledge of literature and creative writing, their teaching experience, and their passion for education, especially in the arts. In addition to working with classroom teachers to create projects that respond to the needs of a particular group of students, each WiR teacher produces his or her own set of lesson plans, which address various Washington State standards.
The plans are left with teachers to use with future classes and to share with fellow teachers, which helps to extend the impact of the WiR program at each school. Over the years, we have worked with many of the same schools, moving from one grade level to the next to sustain the impact of the program or targeting a certain grade level so that students can look forward to participating in a specific year.
Our residency programs traditionally run for weeks, but we recently began offering a week program as well, in which our authors focus on a single genre: poetry, fiction, or nonfiction.
