Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Textbook -- suggestion
I would suggest Katie Wood Ray, Wondrous Words one of the best writing workshop books and resources out there (in my humble opinion),but it may be too long. I use it for a writing course for elementary/middle school. Ralph Fletcher/JoAnn Portalupi have one called Writing Workshop: the Essential Guide, it's shorter and a good resource.

Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Textbook -- suggestion
My recommendation because I think this is just what you're de scribing: The Writing Workshop: Working Through the Hard Parts (And They're All Hard Parts) by Katie Wood Ray Good luck, Judy Hi, I teach reading and writing courses in elementary ed. at a university in MA.

Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Textbook -- suggestion
A few to consider are: The No-Nonsense Guide to Teaching Writing by Judy Davis and Sharon Hill (This is a great book and lays out everything you need to know to launch a successful writing workshop). Writing Workshop The Essential Guide by Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi (Another good resource) What You Know by Heart by Katie Wood Ray (Good) The Writing Workshop by Katie Wood Ray with Lester Laminack (Good, but long). Now that I've listed the above books, which are fairly easy to read and give a good overview of the writing workshop, I have to say that Calkins' is an outstanding book. If this is the only course on teaching writing your pre-service teachers will get, then I would strongly encourage you to re-think the overwhelming part. They need a good, solid foundation on how to teach writing to be prepared for the demands they will have in the classroom.

Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Textbook -- suggestion
Personally, I think Ray/Laminack's Writing Workshop: Working Through the Hardparts is the best place to start. Really addresses all the issues...management, curriculum planning. As much as I love Fletcher, I think his writing workshop book just doesn't delve deeply enough to help teachers really dig into writer's workshop and Wondrous Words (my own all time favorite) may overwhelm those with no experience at all with this sort of instruction.

Re: [MOSAIC] Writing Textbook -- suggestion
I'm a big fan of show don't tell when it comes to guiding teachers into new ideas. How about a book with a video and discussion guide? Here's one example - Stenhouse has many more. http://www.stenhouse.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=9049idcategory=109 Good luck!
