College of Education faculty members Stephanie Jones and Bob Fecho, who are two of the co-directors of the Red Clay Writing Project at the University of Georgia, write an op-ed in October 1 edition of The Atlantic titled, “Creativity is Not the Enemy of Good Writing.”

Jones
Fecho, a professor of language and literacy education, is the author of the recent book, Teaching for the Students. Jones, an associate professor of elementary education, is co-author of The Reading Turn-Around. She blogs at Engaged Intellectuals.
The pair argue that helping students inquire into the way language is used for them, against them, and by them will help them to see the written word as something they control rather than it controlling them.
