Support
- Professional Development
Ongoing development and support for faculty who will be teaching Writing Intensive courses is integral to the success of the QEP. Write Here, Write Now! Workshops led by outside consultants or by in-house faculty members will be designed for faculty teaching WI courses but will be open to all interested faculty. A substantive workshop held at the beginning of each semester will be followed by shorter sessions throughout the subsequent months. Faculty will participate in workshops as a cohort group associated with the degree programs being phased-in to the QEP each year. A schedule of writing related professional development activities will be posted on this website.
- Faculty Resource Team
A Faculty Resource Team will be available to assist faculty in development and implementation of Writing Intensive courses. The Faculty Resource Team for Year 1 of Write Here, Write Now will consist of designated English faculty members. As each cohort of program/discipline faculty complete the planning and implementation phases of the QEP, these faculty will become mentors to the next faculty cohort.
The QEP Implementation Team will be responsible for ongoing management of this Faculty Resource Team component to include planning and providing of both formal and informal opportunities for faculty support to take place:
- The initial formation of resource pairs will be communicated at beginning of semester; resource team members will be assigned to members of the new cohort;
- first one-on-one meeting will be held either before classes start or some time during the first three weeks of class, followed by meetings as needed to discuss common problems;
- assigned resource team member will serve as an "as-needed" resource throughout semester
