Abstract: The article focuses on Dr. Katherine Valentine, the 2025 recipient of the Timothy and Cynthia Shanahan Outstanding Dissertation Award, who discusses her dissertation titled "Patterns of Production and Planning in Upper Elementary Writing." Dr. Valentine, an assistant professor at Florida State University, explores the writing behaviors of 4th and 5th graders, particularly why many students stop writing before the allotted time during a 15-minute assessment. Her research highlights the importance of structured planning and goal setting in improving writing persistence and productivity among students. Additionally, she emphasizes the role of school psychologists in supporting literacy practices and advocates for explicit teaching strategies to enhance writing skills in educational settings.
