Pedagogy Seminar

Catalog description

The Pedagogy Seminar examines ideas about teaching in a literary arts/creative writing environment. The pros and cons of the “workshop”-style will be discussed alongside alternative models, and general topics of exploration will include: creative process pedagogy, writing-to-learn, multi-genre approaches, uses of readings/research, and general classroom management. Designing an inclusive classroom and syllabus as well as exploring generative and innovative practices will be covered as well. A special emphasis will be on preparing students to feel confident and to explore a range of creative process issues. Personal writing as well as syllabus design will be expected.
