- Class Description:
- This course is a seminar in the theory and practice of teaching writing through one-to-one consultations. Our goal in this seminar is to develop as writers and writing consultants though investigating into, experimenting with, and reflecting upon our own literacy practices; reading carefully and discussing published research and theory as well as examples of our own and other students' writing; posing and exploring--in our discussions, in-class consultations, and writing--questions about writers, writing consulting, and academic literacy; observing, practicing, and reflecting on writing consultancy with one another; designing, conducting, and presenting our own writing center inquiry projects. In addition to challenging you to think critically about both yourself as a writer and a writing consultant, this course will also help you develop practical, flexible, and intentional consulting strategies. Through reflective writing, in-class consultations, class discussions, and collaborative problem-solving sessions, we will learn together how consultants can conduct successful one-to-one conferences with students from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds, and experiences. Ideally, you'll leave this course having grown as both a writer and a writing consultant?and together we will have built a community that supports your continued teaching and learning.
