Voices of Teens: Writers Matter

Michael Galbraith & Robert Vogel
Foreword by Erin Gruwell

Voices of Teens: Writers Matter describes a writing program where teachers and students have worked out the nuances and delicate balance among standards, school district requirements, and the reflective questions that young adolescents desperately want to answer. This unique resource begins with a part directed to teachers that gives information about the writing program, how it got started, and how it works. The second part is written directly for students and includes extensive samples of student writing.

The student portion of the book, Voices of Teens: In Their Own Words, is also printed separately for distribution to students.

The book is available through the National Middle School Website –
