Reviews
"Though this excellent volume explicitly invokes new writing teachers as its audience, it will be equally valuable to experienced writing teachers who want to refresh their pedagogy in light of new research in writing studies." -- CHOICE, " Teaching Mindful Writers makes a definitive contribution to our field's most central research emphases in this moment. It instantiates the theory and research of much recent work in metacognition, learning transfer, threshold concepts, and deliberate classroom practices--I've rarely been more impressed with the sheer breadth and masterful synthesis of a field's literature than in this book." --Doug Downs, University of Montana "This book is high quality in terms of its writing style, its engagement with recent writing studies research and theory, its focus on mindfulness and metacognition, and its organizing task model. The advice is excellent throughout the book, and Jackson explores the most important aspects of teaching FYC." --Dan Melzer, University of California, Davis, " Teaching Mindful Writers makes a definitive contribution to our field's most central research emphases in this moment.
