About Writing Classroom

Writing stRategies for Instructional Technology in Education (WRITE) transforms how educators support struggling writers through research-backed interventions and innovative technology solutions. Born from the University of Kansas with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs, WRITE bridges the gap between educational research and classroom practice.

Our Mission

We believe every student deserves the tools and support to express their ideas effectively through writing. WRITE provides educators with evidence-based strategies, technology recommendations, and practical resources to help all students—especially those who struggle with writing—develop essential writing skills that unlock academic success.

What Makes WRITE Different

Research-Driven Solutions: Our interventions are grounded in rigorous academic research and field-tested in real classrooms with measurable results.

Technology Integration: We don’t just recommend tools—we help educators understand which technologies truly enhance writing instruction and how to implement them effectively.

Comprehensive Support: From brainstorming and organization to fluency and conventions, we address the full spectrum of writing challenges students face.

Inclusive Design: Our resources are specifically designed to support students with disabilities while benefiting all learners in diverse classroom settings.

Proven Impact

WRITE has demonstrated significant success in helping teachers:

• Save time through automated assessment tools that provide instant feedback
• Make data-driven instructional decisions with detailed progress monitoring
• Implement targeted interventions based on individual student needs
• Support the six key traits of writing: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions
