Abstract	A school is a tough place to change. Everyone hear of schools being transformed into an exemplary or model learning places. In the report, "The Neglected 'R'': The Need for a Writing Revolution," by the National Commission on Writing in America's Schools and Colleges, a panel organized in September of 2002 by The College Board, it says, "... it would be false to claim that most students cannot write. What most students cannot do is write well.... Basic writing itself is not the issue; the problem is that most students cannot write with the skill expected of them today." The Commission concluded that the single change that most needs to happen to make "American education ... realize its potential as an engine of opportunity and economic growth is a writing revolution [that] puts language and communication in their proper place in the classroom." In this article, the author points out that the first step in how to change a school is perhaps for teachers to find ample opportunities across the curriculum for students to engage in writing that they and their teachers will see as purposeful.
