Writing Continuums
Hi Everyone,
I am the English Department chair at a private k-12 school. We are currently in the process of developing a k-12 writing continuum and are wondering if there is anyone else out there using one. If so, is it working well? Are you open to questions and possibly visitors to your school?
We are using Bonnie Campbell-Hill's Developing Continuums to help us start the process.
Thanks!

I teach 7th grade at a rural school in Kentucky. We have been using a writing continuum for 2 years. We are in the process of revising our continuum only because the state is revising the writing core content standards. Our continuum does allow us to meet writing standards across the middle grades.
