Writing Agenda Credential Program Information (pdf)

Summer 2008 Institute
dates TBA
Raritan Valley Community College
Somerville, New Jersey

Introduction to the Writing Agenda brings together teachers from a range of grades and disciplines to write, to share their writing, to revise, to learn about the connections between writing and thinking, and most importantly to develop applications to their own teaching of writing. Through collaboration and conversation teachers address their concerns about teaching writing, and cultivate an understanding of the ways that writing uniquely supports both learning and the communication of what has been learned. The Writing Agenda is a response to the National Commission on the Teaching of Writing in America’s Schools and Colleges that defines writing as “The Neglected ‘R’ and teachers as the most effective leaders of reform. The introductory course is the first in a four-course graduate sequence that can lead to a Certificate in the Teaching of Writing.
