What we’re NOT here to do:
 
 
Turn you into a writing teacher
(or worse, a grammar expert)
Force your students to write persuasive essays
Dictate how you should run your classroom
 
What we are here to do:
 
 
To further the goals of the 
NSU Quality Enhancement Plan
To identify effective methods for incorporating, assigning,
responding to, and assessing writing in NSU courses
To share resources, experiences, and expertise
 
Why? Because we believe:
 
writing is the responsibility of the entire academic community
across a student’s entire time as a NSU student, not just one
department, class, or year
writing benefits students by promoting learning, self development,
and professional achievement
writing benefits teachers by improving transfer of course content
and evaluation of student learning, and creates an environment for
more sophisticated and fruitful student engagement
Some best practices:
 
 
Clear Writing Expectations
Interactive Writing Processes
Meaning-Making Writing Tasks
Real Documents and Situations
