ABSTRACT
This chapter connects to national standards, details the in-class and outside-of-class components, and suggests tools people may use to flip our own writing methodology course. All teacher educators of writing are tasked to meet the international literacy association and national council of teachers of English’s standards as people prepare literacy professionals to “develop and implement writing instruction that builds learners’ understanding. To provide preservice teachers opportunities to practice teaching, Rochester et al. flipped a K-2 literacy methods course taught in an elementary school. In-person time is used to participate in writing workshop where preservice teachers make writerly choices as we explore each session’s genre-specific topic. The in-person class sessions include 10-minute mini lesson used to begin each session’s forty-five-minute writing workshop and thirty-minute professional learning tasks completed at end of each in-person session. The professional learning communities are designed for collaborative planning for academic service learning projects aside from three in-person sessions focused on evaluating writing contests.
