2026 Writing Revolution 2.0 Quarter 1 Book Club

Join us for MSTA’s 1st Quarter "Beyond the Book" Club, featuring Writing Revolution 2.0: A Guide to Advancing Thinking Through Writing in All Subjects and Grades by Judith Hochman, Natlie Wexler, & Kathleen Maloney.

Even if you don’t see yourself as an ELA teacher, this book club will show you how writing can become one of your most powerful instructional tools in any classroom. You'll learn research-based strategies to help students think more critically, deepen their understanding of content, and communicate their learning more effectively.  Whether you teach math, science, social studies, career education, or the arts, learn ready-to-use techniques that improve student learning while making writing a meaningful part of everyday instruction.
