⭐ NEW BLOG POST⭐ 

Read the latest blog post from Heggerty, written by Literacy Specialist, Janine Henley. “In one study, 37% of surveyed teachers expressed a lack of confidence and felt unprepared to teach writing due to the lack of a writing methods course in their teacher preparation program (Myers et al., 2016). This is concerning, as teachers who are better prepared and have more positive attitudes about writing are more likely to spend time teaching writing and using evidence-based practices than others (Brindle et al., 2015). Exploring new research and instructional methods may feel overwhelming, yet engaging in a collaborative learning community with colleagues proves both valuable and productive.” -Janine Henley
