They found commonalities between teachers who were low implementers of writing instruction like time constraints or students with varying needs. They also found that teachers with high degrees of student engagement within writing stated they had support from mentors or highly regarded the writing process. Also, high implementers stated that they believed they were successful writers.

They also found that while the activities were different across grade levels they were also vastly different within the grade levels as well. Throughout the study they reference best practices and link these to the Common Core Standards within each grade level.
