Summary

Writing to Grow describes how keeping a journal can facilitate observation, documentation, and reflection on current and past experiences, including a teacher's life history and the social, historical, and educational conditions that usher in the present. The author provides examples from the diaries and journals of experienced educators and noted writers, revealing not only how but why writing seems to implant and connect thoughts and information.
