“Having the example paragraphs and essays already written and the evidence already highlighted makes my life so much easier. Now I know exactly where I'm headed with my students and I no longer feel like I'm faking it.”

— Shirley Cox, Specialized Writing Teacher, Campbellsville School District



THE BARAN METHOD TEACHER EDITIONS

Teaching Writing: Revolutionized

Imagine a world where teaching writing is no longer a struggle, where every teacher possesses an “answer key” for every writing assignment from their student’s workbook, and examples for every paragraph and essay the student is about to write are already prepared. This vision might seem far-fetched, but The Baran Method Teacher Editions have made this dream a reality.

With The Baran Method Teacher Editions, gone are the days of wrestling with how to guide students through the complexities of language and composition. This innovative approach provides any educator with an invaluable set of tools that transform the landscape of writing instruction.

The integration of an “answer key” for every writing assignment is a game-changer. No longer do teachers need to spend countless hours constructing their own examples or scouring the depths of literature for writing examples. Instead, they can confidently rely on the color-coded pre-written responses, which are tailor-made to address each and every writing prompt and assignment. By utilizing this invaluable resource, educators can focus on imparting crucial writing skills to their students, secure in the knowledge that they have a guide to steer them in the right direction.

With The Baran Method, the examples equip teachers with a wealth of models that represent outstanding writing. These examples allow educators to effectively illustrate the principles of clear communication. Instead of struggling to find relevant examples or crafting them from scratch, instructors can seamlessly integrate the examples into their lessons. Students then gain exposure to high-quality writing and can easily identify the marks of excellence in their own writing.

However, while The Baran Method streamlines the teaching process, it is important to understand that this innovative approach does not undermine individuality, creativity, or critical thinking. Writing, at its core, is an expression of ideas, and our teacher editions give ample room for educators to encourage students to develop their own style. Indeed, The Baran Method “answer key,” which consists of pertinent examples that serve as guideposts, inspire students to think creatively and develop their own unique writing abilities. By striking a balance between guidance and creative freedom, teachers can cultivate a generation of confident writers.

The Teacher Edition contains all the assignments found in the Baran Method Workbooks, allowing teachers to easily access and utilize the materials necessary for instructing their students. Furthermore, to simplify the teaching process, each assignment in the Teacher Edition is accompanied by color-coded blue, green, and red 3-sentence and 5-sentence Baran Method example paragraphs. These examples serve as valuable models for students to observe and emulate.

Additionally, the Teacher Edition goes a step further for grades 3 through 12, offering example paragraphs that demonstrate how to extend beyond the 5-sentence Baran Method paragraph. This provision enables teachers to guide their students in expanding their writing skills and mastering intricate forms of composition. Furthermore, the Teacher Edition includes example essays for grades 4 through 12, effectively functioning as an “answer key” to guide and support teachers as they teach essay writing.

Just as important as the example paragraphs and essays, each reading has the evidence highlighted in green like every Baran Method paragraph. So there’s no more hunting for evidence since it’s already done for you.  

The Teacher Editions come in Single Grade Editions and Multi-Grade Editions. Every Baran Method Teacher Edition includes The Baran Method: Writing for Success textbook and the corresponding Baran Method Workbooks.

Finally, the Teacher Edition is coil bound so that it can conveniently lay flat on the desk.
