From Cue Learning

Hosts Phil and Sharon return with classroom teachers De and Danielle to unpack the third pillar of their writing framework: independence in learning. The conversation explores the practical tools — anchor charts, shared meta-language, structured editing, and curriculum-aligned learning intentions — that move students from instruction-followers to genuine decision-makers. Three Year Six students, Jaxson, Lil, and Lucas, speak candidly about their own growth as writers, and what they reveal is the episode’s central insight: that structure and creative freedom are not opposites. They make each other possible.
