Description

Designed for students considering English teaching, this seminar examines writing instruction in middle and secondary school contexts. In this course, we'll explore the relationship between theory and practice by articulation, evaluation, revision, and expanding our own theories of writing and writing instruction, and thinking and how those theories impact the choices we make in the classroom. This class presents the teaching of writing as a mode of ongoing inquiry, observation, and (re)design; in other words, you are not just a teacher, but a teacher-researcher.
