What are some ways in which teachers can monitor students' progress in writing?
What will be an ideal response?
Teachers can note whether students are able to complete a writing project. They may also keep records of how proficient students are at certain writing skills (e.g., planning, spelling). They can assess whether students are able to apply the skills across a variety of text types and genres. In addition, they may examine how well a student can explain the process that they are using. Data can be obtained by 1) collecting students' writing products, 2) observing students during writing times and 3) keeping notes during writing conferences. The focus of progress monitoring will vary depending on the age of the student and the level of their writing.
