The Curse of "Helicopter Teaching"
Kittle, Penny; Gallagher, Kelly
Educational Leadership, v77 n6 p14-19 Mar 2020
Many students enter upper grades unprepared to make decisions and take charge of their work, especially with writing assignments and organizing their thinking in any written piece. With good intention, many teachers make lots of decisions for students on organization and development a piece of writing. Gallagher and Kittle share how they let students "struggle" more as they write (as is normal), mainly thru practice wresting with decisions about how to organize, revise, and present their thoughts in daily quick writes.
