All days are Thursdays, unless marked otherwise and events are at 3:00PM. Events will be on Zoom until further notice.
1/13 Department Meeting
1/20 Signs of Life in the Classroom Pedagogy Series: Innovations in the First Year Writing Program. Facilitators: Sarah Allen & Liz Calero
In this workshop, you’ll have a chance to share questions and brainstorm approaches to the anticipated shift to in-person teaching next week. We will also share with you the university’s writing rubric and use it as a springboard for a discussion about what students should be able to do as writers when they leave ENG 100, 100A, or 190. You’ll have a chance to share what you see in student writing and what works in your classrooms, as well as to hear from others about theirs. Finally, you will receive a short description of the FYW Assessment Project that is underway this semester. Please join us!
