Teaching writing in an era of scripted curricula and standardized testing can be lonely and discouraging. Reclaiming Writing brings together a community of support, providing us research, experience, and strategies for (once again) engaging in the joyful and passionate work of being writers and teachers of writing. It is an inspiring read for those already teaching and for those learning to teach. Donna Kalmbach Phillips, Pacific University, USA ...reclaims power for students and teachers, which has been stripped off in today's standards-driven environment. This book sheds light and hope in our education with vivid examples of teaching writing in the crack of the dark age or in open opposition to dehumanized standardization. Danling Fu, University of Florida, USA
