In this episode, Whitney and Travis are joined by Patterns of Power co-author Caroline Sweet to discuss the POWER in this instructional process of grammar instruction. Together, they explore how teachers can shift classroom dynamics by letting students speak first, honoring the linguistic resources children bring with them, and choosing texts that serve as mirrors for young writers. Whether you're new to this approach or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation will challenge you to rethink who holds the power in your classroom—and why that matters for developing confident, capable writers.
