The Faculty Writing Fellows is a faculty learning community in which teachers from different disciplines work together on innovative approaches to writing instruction, critical thinking and active learning. Consulting and discussing current research in these areas, the Fellows collaborate on refining assignment design, clarifying learning objectives, developing effective evaluation tools and feedback techniques – and more. The Fellows use John Bean’s Engaging Ideas: The Professor’s Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking and Active Learning in the Classroom<\/em> as a primary resource for discussion and activities.

Course release for Writing Fellows occurs in the Winter semester of each academic year, when the Fellows read, write online and meet bi-weekly.\u00a0 In the Fall term, as Fellows return to their usual course load, they remain involved via individual check-ins and monthly brief group meetings. The Fellowship culminates in the fellows leading WID’s Big Winter Workshop, which happens in January before classes start up again. The year-long experience permits a full cycle of learning, implementation, and evaluation.
