WRITING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE: Engaging Students In Literacy

Course No. ED478j, ED578j

Tuition $195 ‑ $280 $195

Quarter Credits 3

More Information
Register Now

Writing is an invaluable skill for our students. Literacy directly correlates with better student outcomes, including higher wages and more formal education (AAFP). Unfortunately, educators are rarely taught how to make writing engaging for their diverse classrooms. As a result, teachers struggle to motivate students who have internalized failure at writing.

IMPROVING STUDENTS’ SYNTACTIC MATURITY

Course No. ED478c, ED578c

Tuition $380 ‑ $495

Quarter Credits 6

More Information
Register Now

Improving students’ syntactic maturity is an elusive goal for most middle and high school language arts teachers because it involves more than merely getting students to write complex sentences: syntactic maturity requires students to deliberately manipulate sentence structures (independent clauses, phrases, introductory elements, parentheticals, etc.) to improve reader comprehension. This course focuses on the knowledge teachers need to effectively improve students’ syntactic maturity during revision. 

EQUITABLE GRADING – IS IT FOR YOU?

Course No. ED478d, ED578d

Participants will critically evaluate their current grading policies, reflect on their impact, and explore alternatives. They will examine the role of communication, feedback, and transparency in promoting equitable grading practices. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a deeper understanding of equitable grading, identified biases in their own practices, and created an action plan to create grading policies that support student success.
