Professional Development: Writing Pedagogy Seminar

Catalog description

This class prepares students for working with writers in the college setting, both one-on-one and in the classroom. A range of teaching models (including expressive, collaborative, critical, contemplative, and feminist philosophies) are investigated, and practical methods for working with writers are developed. Strategies for engaging with the writing process, providing feedback on student work, and developing lesson plans are explored. Students construct a foundation for their own pedagogical approaches, based firmly in the theories they value. Open to all graduate students interested in teaching writing.
