The Pow+Tree Strategy’S Effects On The Argumentative Writing Of Struggling Secondary Students, Matthias Grünke

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

I applied a multiple-baseline design to evaluate outcomes across participants.

I also discuss future research and the findings’ implications for practitioners.
