贯穿课程的写作
The UMB Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program’s primary mission is to increase the presence of effective, inclusive writing instruction across 学科 and to support connection and coherence in writing-related efforts across the university. 我们提供教师对教师的发展研讨会, resources, and consultation to help individual instructors (“WAC Faculty Fellows ”) integrate or improve writing instruction in their own classrooms. We also provide expert guidance and a point of cross-disciplinary articulation to departments, programs, 和课程, 以及举办活动来促进和庆祝写作和写作教育.
我们的原则
- 写作学习:写作对所有学生来说都是一种有价值的学习方法, 无论是在特定课程中还是在学术生涯中.
- 学习写作:学生写作在反复练习的情况下发展得最好, 持续的机会，以各种体裁写作, 学科, 和背景.
- Teaching Writing: Faculty of all 学科 can play a role in facilitating and guiding student writing.
- Writing and Equity: Writing instruction and assessment play a critical role in both enacting and dismantling systems of oppression.
- Cross-Disciplinary Connections: Faculty from different 学科 possess and can share disciplinary writing knowledge and practice.

WAC教员研究员计划
Each year, a cohort of selected WAC Faculty Fellows receive a stipend to collaborate in a series of monthly, inquiry-based workshops to consider how writing can be used as a tool for learning and how all 学科 can contribute to students’ ongoing development as writers. Workshops address questions and challenges that participating faculty bring to the program, as well as questions such as: How can I use writing in my classroom to support students’ learning of disciplinary knowledge and writing conventions? 如何在我的课程中建立包容性的写作文化? 我如何评估和回应学生的写作? 到节目结束的时候, WAC Faculty Fellows come away with a revised set of course materials and plans for implementing them.
