WRITING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE: Engaging Students In Literacy
Course No. ED478j, ED578j
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.
