ED 407 - Teacher as Writer

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 2
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

As a community of learners, students will engage in the writing process (generating ideas, drafting, revising, editing and publishing) while exploring a variety of genres including poetry, creative nonfiction, personal narratives and short stories. Students will write, share their writing, and dive into their own development as literate beings. This will take place in a supportive environment, led by an experienced teacher of writing whose goal is to guide and inspire students to explore their relationship between the writing process and how they envision teaching writing. With this comes a focus on writing about what teaching means to each of us. As students develop as writers, they will learn how to articulate what they believe in regards to teaching how they come to those beliefs and how they understand their future role as an advocate for students and communities.
