elsenew and exciting?
I was and still am a fan of Lucy Calkins. So when my school district
decided to adopt her writing program I thought it would be great. I
guess her presentations didn't translate well into a writing program.
My colleagues hate the program and none of them use it. They feel it is
to simple and there is no meat to it. I think that they just don't get
her and the district didn't do a good job with helping them understand
the program. I think everyone wants a more Six Traits approach and now
I can't get anyone to even read ANY of her books. It's nice to connect
with fans. Thanks.

Try to attend a presentation by Lucy ...listening to her tell the
students' stories in person was really moving...I was lucky enough to
attend...I think it was in early nineties ...at a Whole Language
Conference at a Florida University that also featured Yetta Goodman:) I
swear...FL classroom teachers at that time were ruled by a unified
curriculum that required testing students after each isolated skill
learned (in reading and math)... After that conference we were like
born-again teachers:)

Lucy is one of mine too. This one more life changing than her later
books
even.

Sally, I feel the same way about Lucy Calkins' Lessons from a Child.
Taylor's
Learning Denied and Lessons from a Child are
professional-life-changing books.
You are never the same again after you've read them. Bev
