| Description: | Good teaching is good teaching. Too often we get caught up in what’s happening in our own classroom walls or in the faculty lounge of our own school building. This blog is a place that erases all of those barriers and focuses simply on teaching kids to write and catching minds in the midst. It’s happening not only 872 miles apart, but in classrooms beyond our Midwestern town and East Coast City. TWO WRITING TEACHERS is a place: For teachers to be fueled with a passion for teaching, writing, and living. For teachers to see the latest in research and ways to apply it in their classrooms. For us to “practice what we preach” by sharing our own writing. To bring writing teachers together to share ideas and stretch each other’s thinking. To reflect on our teaching — celebrating when it goes well and working it out when it doesn’t. --Ruth A. & Stacey S. |

Chasing Big Dreams: Part I
I rolled into my driveway around 8:30 last night. Andy had given our kids late naps so they could stay up and see me. This may not have been our best parenting move. They were excited, but also tired. Emotions swirled. By 9:45 Andy and I were snuggled on the couch and there were no [...]
