Writing is hard work. Teaching it can be even harder. As most teachers know, writer's workshop doesn't always go as planned, and many find there are obstacles that they consistently struggle with. In his role as a literacy coordinator and teacher, Mark Overmeyer has heard the same issues raised again and again by both new and experienced colleagues. When Writing Workshop Isn't Working acknowledges the process-based nature of the writing workshop. It eschews formulaic, program-based, one-size-fitsall answers; presenting, instead, multiple suggestions based on what works in real classrooms.
