As an English/language arts teacher at the middle or secondary level, you’ll have to contend with these opinions—thoughtful or not—while doing what few people have the talent to do: create an environment in which students write to discover what they know about themselves and their worlds. Your odds of success will increase if you appreciate yourself as a writer, warts and all. You’ll better your odds, too, if you can situate your own writing, and then your teaching of writing, in the context of findings from careful research on literacy, its acquisition, and its lifelong practice. Come prepared to question what you know about writing and how you learned it. Come prepared to examine writing and writing instruction with the eye of an investigator. Come prepared, most of all, to write. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
