We Need Human Stories Tied to Data About Teaching (Writing Wednesday)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Research alone won't move a teacher to change what they do tomorrow. A story will. In this Writing Wednesday, I break down the method I use in my own writing: for every piece of research I include, I pair it with a real classroom moment, either something I lived through myself or something I watched happen in another teacher's room.
The story is what makes a reader trust you. The research is what backs up the claim. Put them together and you get writing that actually sticks with the teachers, coaches, and school leaders reading it.
This one's short, but it's a habit worth stealing if you write for educators, coach teachers, or create content for classrooms. Whether you're building out professional learning materials or writing instructional strategies for a blog, tie the research to a person. A moment. A room with real kids in it.
This Writing Wednesday series is for teachers, instructional coaches, mentor teachers, and school leaders who've thought about writing their own book. See you next week.
