Workshop Series: Teaching the Writers in Your Classes - The Role of Writing in Your Class

Day	Friday, September 24
Time	12:00 PM to 1:30 PM
Where	Learning Studio, LN-1324C

Join the CLT  for part one of this three-part workshop series: Teaching the Writers in Your Classes. In this workshop, we'll discuss how you view the role of writing in your course as part of what your students will learn about writing in and for your discipline. We'll frame writing as part of inquiry, as a practice that supports learning, and as a way for students to show what they understand. We'll also discuss how to address students' prior knowledge of writing so that they more quickly understand the goals you've set for them.

This series shares best practices and principles of writing instruction that you can apply to courses in your discipline. The series will address the nuts and bolts of writing instruction itself, such as assignments, offering feedback, and managing the paper load. Writing instruction in the context of research into student learning, so that we can investigate how you might integrate writing as a tool for learning and inquiry into the design of your course. The workshops are designed to open up a discussion about the particulars of your discipline and the goals you have for students at different levels in your major. 

You can attend individual workshops, or attend the series. Robert Danberg, coordinator of campus-wide writing support, will also be available to consult with you about your own goals and assignments.
