Episode 429: Is the Reason Your Students Struggle With Writing Simpler Than You Think?

In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, watching a class freeze at a blank page is one of the fastest ways to lose your confidence as a writing teacher and it’s also one of the most preventable. I’m breaking down the evidence-based writing approach (EBW) and why it works as a thinking framework, not just an essay format, so you can stop reteaching the same skills from scratch every time you assign a response. If you want to go deeper, I’m hosting a free live writing workshop starting July 21 where I’ll walk you through the framework and how to integrate it across your ELA block. Join our FREE 3-Day Writing Workshop here: https://www.ebteacher.com/writing-workshopSubscribe & Review in iTunesAre you subscribed to our podcast?
