TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've taught writing at all grade levels and in adult literacy and prison programs. I have also written many professional books that show how to teach writing. Barry Lane is one of the finest speakers on the teaching of writing. His combination of warmth, insight and energy is magical. My colleagues and I left our day with Barry with full hearts and high spirits, ready to bring new strategies and new energy into our writing workshops. Lucy Calkins

MY TEACHING STYLE

Barry Lane's aim is to inspire teachers of writing as much as to teach us, to encourage as much as to show how. The man delivers. His humanity--his humor, curiosity, openness to learning from every experience, and generosity of spirit--are gifts to the profession. --Nancie Atwell, winner of the Global Teaching Prize
