Title overview

Recognising that there is a vast difference between children getting it and children holding on to what they have learned, Shanna lays out the universal principles of “stickiness” and describes how they can be used to tweak your teaching for a more lasting impact on young writers.

A Quick Guide to Making Your Teaching Stick is part of the Workshop Help Desk series.

About the Workshop Help Desk series

Provided in a compact 5" x 7" format, the Workshop Help Desk series offers pocket-sized professional development.
