Sponsored by the nation's most respected organization concerned with writing in schools, Because Writing Matters shows what school leaders, teachers, and other educators need to do to develop effective writing programs at all grade levels. It offers action steps prioritized from the easily achieved to the larger and longer term, and has been newly updated to reflect the most recent research and educational priorities. The National Writing Project (Berkeley, CA) is a nationwide professional development program for teachers. Carl Nagin (Berkeley, CA), a former staff reporter for the PBS series Frontline is a freelance writer and investigative journalist who has written for the New York Times and the New Yorker. 000452360 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xComposition and exercises$$xStudy and teaching$$zUnited States. 000452360 7001_ $$aNagin, Carl,$$d1946- 000452360 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aNational Writing Project (U.S.)$$tBecause writing matters.$$bRev. and updated ed.$$dSan Francisco : Jossey-Bass, c2006$$w(OCoLC)756311520 000452360 830_0 $$aJossey-Bass education series. 000452360 85200 $$bgen$$hPE1405.U6$$iN38$$i2006 000452360 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip063/2005032612.html 000452360 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0648/2005032612-b.html 000452360 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0645/2005032612-d.html 000452360 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452360$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452360 980__ $$aBIB 000452360 980__ $$aBOOK
