Writing Pedagogy

Catalog description

Participants learn about writing instruction by engaging in a writers' workshop, via discussions, by studying adolescent writers, by exploring new teaching processes in a case study, and by reading about writing instruction. The purpose is to provide the opportunity for students to become thoughtful and effective teachers of writing, whether in a secondary context, a college or university context or an adult education context. Students work toward this goal by situating themselves in a flexible vantage point: that of the teacher-writer-researcher.
