“Cognitive strategies instruction is an approach to teaching and learning that can be implemented anywhere. This grant allows us to scale up and work with the National Writing Project, which has great reach and infrastructure across the country. We’ll be able to take what we’ve done successfully here in California and achieve similar results in other states and beyond.”-Dr. Carol Booth Olson
