"Student-centered learning, while highly engaging, requires exceptional organizational skill on the part of the teacher. With clarity and precision, Berne addresses every contingency teachers are likely to encounter as they establish and maintain the writing workshop. Teachers will learn how to model, scaffold, differentiate instruction, and efficiently provide meaningful formative and summative evaluation--and their students will grow as writers and thinkers."--Lloyd Pollack, MEd, Literacy Specialist, Chicago Public Schools
