Rebekah O’Dell
Rebekah O’Dell (and Allison Marchetti) founded Moving Writers in 2013 with the mission of providing ideas and resources for writing teachers that would move student writers forward. Together, they have written three books (Writing With Mentors, Beyond Literary Analysis, and A Teacher’s Guide to Mentor Texts). When they are not teaching in their own classrooms, they are traveling the country to work with teachers on simplifying, streamlining, and amplifying authentic writing instruction.
