During our discussion last week, several people expressed interest in creating writing assessment tools with their students. To begin thinking through how to go about doing so, I have included a fantastic article by Asao Inoue from Assessing Writing that not only describes one way of going about it but also grounds the process in assessment theory and research. I have also included some of the documents I have used in my classes for identifying characteristics of an effective Critical Reflection Essay, the rubric developed as a result of the activity, and the self-assessment project students complete using evidence from their written product to justify their evaluation. Finally, I have included a Prezi that Erin Herrmann and I used to develop a collaborative rubric with students from a class from Allied Health Sciences course. I hope these ideas may be useful!

This short video on Bullet Journaling offers some great strategies that could be incorporated into your daybook (and other planning or journaling tools) to track what you have done, organize what you are currently doing, and help plan for the future. I also shared it with my students to offer a reminder on note-taking strategies. Ambiguous Writing is a website created by former WAC Academy participant Dr. Erin Frost. It is a wonderfully informative and engaging resource that writers at all levels can use and learn from. I am always sure to share it with my students. :)
The concept of “college readiness” is increasingly important in discussions about students’ preparation for postsecondary education. This Framework describes the rhetorical and twenty-first-century skills as well as habits of mind and experiences that are critical for college success. Based in current research in writing and writing pedagogy, the Framework was written and reviewed by two- and four-year college and high school writing faculty nationwide and is endorsed by the Council of Writing Program Administrators, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the National Writing Project. (from the Council of Writing Program Administrators website) See the document below for more information on the Framework.
The University Writing Program has several, regular events that support faculty as writers and teachers of writing. Check out some of them below.
If you didn't have a chance to check out the workshops the University Writing Program sponsored during the Fall 2016 Semester, you can access the websites and resources!
