Patty McGee helps teachers transform student writers by demonstrating what to do to build tone, trust, motivation, and choice into daily lessons, conferences, and revision suggestions.
"Patty McGee should be called the ′Writer Whisperer.′ She offers brilliant advice for helping struggling writers, accomplished writers, and all those in between." 
—Debbie Silver, Co-author of Teaching Kids to Thrive

The number one challenge of student writers today isn’t word choice, logic, voice, or even grammar and spelling—it’s buy-in. In Feedback That Moves Writers Forward, Patty McGee shares how to’s for teaching that changes the writing-as-obligation vibe for good. She demonstrates the way feedback can inspire students to reach new heights as writers. With Patty’s help, you learn to:



Resign from your position as Corrector-in-Chief and be amazed as students eagerly take over responsibility for refining their writing
Apply the research on growth mindset and goal setting, whether you use a writing program or a workshop model
Use tone, trust, and language to quicken students’ discovery of their writing identities and take risks when they are stuck
Use student work to deliver clear, just-in-time feedback during planning, drafting, revising, and editing 
Use the online printable forms for delivering customized feedback with just the right wording 
Balance grading and feedback
Help writers reflect so they are better able to apply what they learned about content, craft, and style to their future writing

One of the bravest things we can do as teachers is to admit when a long held practice isn’t working. Error-focused feedback is one such practice. So put down the red pen, pick up this book, and learn to say the right thing at the right time to develop fearless, original, and intentional writers—in any content area.

Patty McGee is a nationally recognized literacy consultant, speaker, and educator with a passion for transforming classrooms into spaces where language and learning come alive. With decades of experience as a teacher, coach, and advocate for delightful literacy practices, Patty has worked alongside educators across the country, partnering to unlock the full potential of their students through innovative and practical teaching strategies.
