If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed teaching writing, you’re not alone. In this episode, Michelle sits down with educator, author, and founder of Reimagine Writing, LaNesha Tabb, to talk about her framework in building confident, independent writers.

For years, LaNesha admits she either “barely taught writing” or avoided it altogether — not because she didn’t care, but because it felt impossible to manage. That all changed when she created a simple yet powerful framework that turned chaos into clarity and helped her students finally thrive as writers.

Key Takeaways:

Why so many teachers feel underprepared to teach writing
How the science of writing and the science of learning informs her work
What it means to have a framework — not just a bunch of strategies
How checklists, chants, and routines can build independence in your writing block
Why focusing on the process first helps students internalize everything else
