Glatthorn, Allan A.

Chapters in the book discuss (1) the composing process and the teaching of writing, (2) evaluating a school's writing program, (3) planning and implementing a staff development program, (4) improving the composition curriculum, improving writing across the curriculum, (6) supervising the writing program, (7) working with parents to improve student writing, and (8) improving the administrator's own writing. A chapter of resources in the testing and teaching of writing concludes the book. (HTH)
