             The ability to express meaning in prose is a foundational skill in our society. 
          Given the importance of being a competent writer, concern with the quality of writing 
          instruction is a recurring theme among American educators (Cutler & Graham, 2008; 
          Gilbert & Graham, 2010; National Commission on Writing, 2003, 2004, 2006).  Research 
          shows that teachers are unprepared to teach writing (Gilbert & Graham, 2010) and devote 
          limited amounts of time to it (Cutler & Graham, 2008; Gilbert & Graham, 2010).  In 
          addition, national assessment data indicates that most students are not proficient writers 
          (Salahu-Din, Persky & Miller, 2008).  
             An embedded case study design (Yin, 2009), using mixed methodology (Greene 
          & Caracelli, 2003a, 2003b; Hesse-Biber, 2010), was employed to determine whether a 
          school-university partnership enacted systemic functional linguistics theory guided 
          writing intervention changed fourth and fifth grade teachers’ writing instruction over the 
          course of three years in an urban elementary school. The study further investigated 
          changes to 41 fourth and 27 fifth graders’ writing performance during the third year of 
          the invention. Examination of the relationship between students’ performance in writing 
          and the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test in English
