Modeling (The Joy of) Writing for Students: an interview with Tim Reisert

Write Answers: a Production of the Ohio Writing Project

In this episode of Write Answers, we talk to Tim Reisert about the confluence between his loves of music, writing, and teaching. Tim was recently signed to Sofa Burn Records, and he has an album coming out in January, 2023 (available now for pre-order). This conversation is all about how we can leverage our own writing lives into meaningful classroom instruction. Tim and Noah get into all kinds of other things as well, ranging from mentor texts to John Hattie and teacher credibility. Of course, they also talk music. As a special treat, Tim even performs the single, “Grand Prairie,” from his upcoming album!
