Description

A historical toolkit providing evidence-based writing-instruction guidance, tip sheets, and professional-development supports for grades 2–4 teachers and school leaders.

Components

  • School Leader's Guide for supporting toolkit completion: The School Leader's Guide contains guidance, tip sheets, and other tools for supporting teachers to complete the Toolkit and improve their writing instruction. It assigns school leaders an active support role in the professional development, rather than treating the PLC sessions as a teacher-only activity. (A Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based Writing Instruction in Grades 2 Through 4 (Historical) (2025))
  • Toolkit supporting evidence-based writing instruction in grades 2 through 4: A set of free professional development materials described as designed with busy educators in mind, offering guided activities and practices that teachers can implement throughout the school year. The toolkit is described as a one-stop shop for those interested in improving students' writing quality, and it builds on the What Works Clearinghouse practice guide Teaching Elementary School Students to Be Effective Writers. It was informed by teachers, school leaders, and professional development coaches from four charter schools in the District of Columbia. (A Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based Writing Instruction in Grades 2 Through 4 (Historical) (2025))
  • Facilitator's Guide and PLC slides within the writing toolkit: One component of the toolkit: the Facilitator's Guide contains all of the information needed to lead a group of teachers in the PLC sessions, and the toolkit also includes slides for a facilitator to use during the PLC sessions. These materials let a facilitator run the eight one-hour professional learning community sessions without sourcing additional materials.
