From First-Year Writing to Writing in the Major: Enhancing Student Self-Efficacy for Writing Across the Curriculum

  • Location: Virtual
  • Registration not required

Understanding how the First-Year Writing curriculum relates to other courses in their degree is often a point of friction for undergraduate students. Yet, when instructors can make clear to students how the literacy concepts learned in one space relate to those used in another, students tend to become more engaged and have greater confidence as writers. This workshop will explore how instructors can align their reading and writing expectations with the skills taught in First-Year Writing courses by emphasizing writing as a high-impact educational practice in disciplinary courses. We’ll discuss what this looks like at one institution and then develop a plan for how to do something similar in your own classes.

Presenter: Dr. Heather Falconer, PhD (Assistant Professor, The University of Maine)

Friday, February 6 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm MST
