If you marked more boxes at the Practitioner Level , you are far along in both the understanding and the use of the writing process. Although you recognize the individual nature of the process, you are not yet ready to turn the entire process over to the students. You still like to maintain control over many aspect of writing in your classroom. In fact, the main difference between the advanced and progressing levels is the degree of student autonomy. Your classroom has charts and other displays that help students focus on the process and skills.
Students receive feedback about their writing in addition to or instead of a grade.
Students are encouraged to take risks and to learn from their mistakes by using the feedback to set learning goals. Students are also learning how to self-assess and to positively critique one another's work. Portfolios or writing folders are kept by the students and contain work in various stages, as well as ideas for future writing. The individual conferences enable you to provide assistance for revisions and editing. You read professional journals and books as often as you can.
