Part I:  Writing Development
Section 1:  Developing a Successful Schoolwide Writing Program

Section 3:  On-demand Writing Assessment
Section 4:  Resources
Appendices

Part II:  Scoring
Section 1:  Analytical Scoring
Section 2:  Grade-specific Anchor Papers
Appendices

You may download the complete handbook files or your may download a section at a time.  Because these files are quite large, we recommend you download the files on a faster speed computer and that you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available.

The files are now bookmarked so that you may quickly access any part of the handbook that you need.
