The National Writing Project presents a webinar on…

The Future of Writing Research and Instruction at the Secondary Level: Recommendations from the WRITE Center Summit

From March 2019 through March 2025, the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine received grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to establish and operate the WRITE Center, a national research and development center dedicated to improving academic writing outcomes for students at the secondary level. This center hosted over 50 webinars, published 39 research articles, including an influential meta-analysis of writing treatments for grades 6-12, developed an argument writing intervention for the history classroom, and disseminated a monthly newsletter on issues in secondary writing instruction. The culminating project of the center was to convene a group of experts in the field to participate in a summit to explore what we know from research about the current state of writing instruction in U.S. secondary schools and to make recommendations for future research that is needed to bring the most effective evidence-based practices into the classroom.

Join us as we share the ten recommendations from the WRITE Center Summit and look at practical examples of how implementing these recommendations can improve secondary writing instruction.
