“The vermont writing collaborative was founded in 2007 by five vermont public school teachers. At that time, the five had been working, individually and collectively and at all grade levels, with an approach to writing instruction we were developing. We call this approach writing for understanding, and it is premised on the idea that writing is all about meaning. If students are to write effectively, it is clear that 1) they need to have solid understanding of the ideas about which they are writing, 2) they need to have a clear structure to build that understanding so that orthers can follow their thinking. In writing for understanding, teachers "plan backward", with an outcome clearly in mind so that they are able to build in successful opportunities to learn for students - and then to show that understanding in effective writing.”

“Again this year, we were unable to offer any in-person conferences. Most of our work involved updating our website. We have continued to make materials available to people free of charge from our website, including new lesson plans. This also includes the free resource teachers at work. In addition, we sell books through our website and through amazon. Our newsletter now reaches around 1,600 people. Financial statement at the end of 2024, the vermont writing collaborative had 11,645.85. The income we generated was from selling books (writing for understanding and making it work) via amazon and our website.”
