Do you have independent writing time up and running in your classroom but feel unsure of how to keep your writer's moving forward?
It is difficult to support struggling writers or even know what to teach for writing if you don't know enough about your writers.

In this episode, I share:

- Collecting data on identity and engagement
After this episode you'll be ready for Part 2 where I go over choosing a data focus and a simple way to record data.
