Expert Insights and Fresh Ideas for Education Leaders

The Be Podcast Network, an organization of more than four dozen engaging shows dedicated to education, and Reading Is Fundamental are partnering during National Literacy Month to share high-impact conversations about literacy with more than 40 unique episodes featuring conversations about the state of children’s literacy nationwide, best practices for reading instruction and engagement, strategies to foster the joy of reading in school and at home, and much more.

The Authority Podcast revisits a conversation with Chris Hall, originally published in December 2022. We discuss his book The Writer’s Mindset: Six Stances That Promote Authentic Revision.

They cover: 

  • Why Chris chose to focus his book on the topic of revision
  • The 6 Stances students can adopt toward their writing
  • Beliefs about optimism: students should learn from their strengths & students should choose what to write and revise
  • How to make risk-taking inviting for young writers
  • How teachers can model flexible thinking — openness to new ideas and approaches — for students
