Newly updated to incorporate the impact of AI, and other societal changes, this 2nd edition of Developing Writing Teachers is a research-informed textbook for pre-service or practicing teachers of writing in school settings, including teachers of English language arts.When teachers of writing identify as writers, it adds a special dimension to their writing pedagogy. Practical and accessible while drawing on a range of relevant research and theory, this text is distinguished by its dual focus—on teachers as writers and the teaching of writing. Part I addresses the question: What does it take for a teacher of writing to develop an identity as writer? In this section, drawing on case studies and teacher narratives, the book guides its readers to an understanding of the current status of writing in the 21st Century, the role of expressive writing in developing a writing identity, the relationship of writing to genre and rhetoric, writing and professional identity, and writing as design. Part II focuses on pedagogical practice and helping writer-teachers develop a toolkit to take into their classrooms. The section includes a focus on the building of a community of writing practice; the nature of writing as process; the place of grammar; digital writing; and how assessment, properly used, can help develop writing.New to the 2nd edition:• All chapters will incorporate an awareness of generative AI and its effect on teaching writing in the 21st century• Updated chapter on "Digital Writing"• A renewed focus on theories of the self, the concept of voice, ecological awareness, and ecocentric ethics (consistent with post-humanism and indigenous traditions).• A preface by Richard Andrews• Updated references and recommendations for further reading

“This powerful, research-informed book places writing at the very heart of teaching by positioning teachers as writers themselves. It affirms that all students have something meaningful to say—and that with inspiration and thoughtful support, they can discover genuine pleasure in expressing it. Exploring what it means to claim and develop a writerly identity in the 21st century, it challenges narrow, standards-driven definitions of success and advocates for richer, more humanist approaches to writing pedagogy. Both reflective and practical, it is an empowering call for teachers to embrace writing not only as instruction, but as a vital part of who they are.”- Debra Myhill FBA, Professor Emerita in Language and Literacy Education, University of ExeterWhat a needed book! Developing Writing Teachers is a concise, practical, and critical synthesis of decades of research and practice from around the world and through all kinds of political and policy environments. What’s more, it has heart. If you want to know what really matters when it comes to equipping the best writing teachers possible, this book will show you.- Anne Whitney, Penn State College of Education
