In today’s episode of Great Minds Teach Alike, we are diving deep into the heart of writing instruction — not just as an academic skill, but as a tool for confidence, independence, and healing.

Fly Professor welcomes guest LaNesha Tabb, educator, author, literacy consultant, and founder of Reimagine Writing. With nearly two decades in classrooms, coaching roles, and curriculum design, LaNesha has transformed how educators understand and teach the writing process. Her work centers on providing practical, research-based strategies that help students write with clarity, purpose, and ownership. Grounded in the Writing Process…

In this episode, we talk about:

• Moving from assigning writing to teaching writing
• Building independent student writers by grounding instruction in the writing process
• Balancing authenticity, student choice, and academic rigor
• And why consistent writing is not only key for better writing — but stronger reading outcomes too

When she’s not helping educators reimagine their writing blocks, LaNesha is writing children’s books (including the beloved Albert series), co-authoring professional texts like Unpack Your Impact, and preparing for the release of her newest picture book, The Gingerbread Diva — coming soon!

Trust me—you’re going to want a notebook for this one.

Let’s get into it. ✍🏾✨
