Abstract: The Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) within the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) requests
clearance for data collection activities to
support an evaluation of A Toolkit to
Support Evidence-Based Writing
Instruction in Grades 2 Through 4.
Specifically, this request covers
collection of data to conduct an
evaluation to assess whether
implementing the writing toolkit (1)
improves teachers’ attitudes towards
writing and helps them align their
writing instruction with the evidencebased recommendations in the What
Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Teaching
Elementary School Students to Be
Effective Writers practice guide and (2)
improves students’ writing quality and
reading achievement. This randomized
controlled trial study will compare
teacher and student outcomes in schools

that implement the writing toolkit (the
treatment group) with the teacher and
student outcomes in schools that
continue to provide their usual
professional development supports (the
comparison group).
There is a great need for professional
learning supports in elementary writing
instruction to address low reading and
writing proficiency across the country.
Teacher preparation programs rarely
offer stand-alone writing instruction
(Myers et al. 2016; Morgan 2010;
Brenner 2013), and surveys show many
teachers and teacher educators do not
feel confident in writing instruction
(Myers et al. 2016; Cutler and Graham
2008). An accessible package of
professional learning materials designed
to help educators translate evidencebased recommendations for elementary
writing instruction into daily
instruction could be a game-changer for
improving teacher practice and student
writing.
The elementary writing toolkit aims to
offer such an accessible, evidence-based
professional learning package by
drawing on the WWC Teaching
Elementary School Students to Be
Effective Writers practice guide. The
practice guide helps to fill the
professional development gaps for
elementary writing instruction by
providing clear, actionable
recommendations along with specific
implementation steps and examples.
The toolkit will build on the practice
guide to (1) make the recommendations
and implementation guidance accessible
and engaging for busy educators, (2)
create a structure for learning and
applying practices throughout a school
year, (3) promote collaborative learning
and planning among teachers, and (4)
offer tools for sustaining practices over
time. The toolkit will be a one-stop shop
that enables schools and educators to
access all supports in one place,
complemented by diagnostic tools to
assess practices and resources for school
leaders to institutionalize practices over
time. Incorporating multimedia
resources that are easy to navigate will
make the toolkit more inviting and will
facilitate the reinforcement of concepts
that are difficult to learn through text
alone.
To provide context for the impact
findings and inform further
development of the toolkit, the
evaluation will examine teachers’
experiences and engagement in toolkit
activities, the learning modules
completed, challenges encountered and
suggested solutions, feedback on areas
to improve the toolkit and institutional
supports, and the extent to which the
professional development in writing
