Professional Development in the Writing Programs
ASEs will participate in two training and mentoring events each quarter they teach in PWR or PWAC, for up to three hours. These events shall be included in the ASE’s 220 hours for the quarter. (PWR instructors teaching new-to-them courses will receive training prior to fall quarter and are thus exempt from this requirement for that academic year.) We want everyone to be able to find events that support their own pedagogical goals.
Below is a list of some of the professionalizing events the Writing Programs are putting on this year; please feel free to select from this list. You are also welcome to seek out other teaching- or writing-related activities and events, including campus events (such as CTL talks or workshops) or non-UW events (such as conferences). We define “participation” as either attending an event… or facilitating one! We encourage you to do what best supports your own teaching and is meaningful to you, such as an instructor observation plus a followup conversation.
If you are interested in designing and leading a Teaching Café discussion or other event, please let us know– we encourage you to propose something! (email Carrie Matthews, Associate Dir. of Writing Programs– crmatthe@uw.edu).
Please complete this form once for each event you attend!
