Resources for Writing Program Design

4/27/2010

KEA staff has reviewed this set of resources provided by KDE and finds it to be useful as SBDM councils and literacy teams develop their school writing policy and plan. The resources support the functioning of school based teams as they develop their writing plan and policy (policies) necessary to implement their writing program. The PowerPoint with facilitator notes outlines a comprehensive process for writing program design.  The process tool allows teams to build on their current writing program as they develop a plan and the policy or policies necessary for its implementation. The sample survey can be used to foster discussion as the SBDM council updates an existing writing policy to meet the new requirements.  The policy guidelines link is located here:  http://www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Instructional+Resources/Literacy/Kentucky+Writing+Program/Writing+Policy+Guidance.htm
