Writing Workshop

“Ten (10) ESL and English faculty will participate in 2 best practices workshops with 90% reporting integrating one or more new methodologies into their courses,” is one of the objectives of this grant. To accomplish this we are inviting Robert Rundquist and Laura Hope from Chaffey College to give a workshop on writing centers. Laura Hope has been an English instructor at Chaffey College for over twenty years, teaching composition and literature at all levels. She is also the English instructor for the Puente Project at Chaffey, as well as the Coordinator of the Success Centers. Rob Rundquist is the Instructional Specialist for the Chaffey College Writing Center. He has extensive experience in both community college and university writing centers as both an instructor and a peer tutor.

Writing Workshop (Project Completed)

In an effort to re-imagine the Learning Center, we have invited instructors from Chaffey College to conduct a workshop on Saturday, February 27 from approximately 10:00-4:00. The session titles are as follows:

Session 1: Making “Basic Skills” a Campus-wide Priority (general session for all campus stakeholders)

Session 2: Learning Center Curriculum Development (session geared more toward classroom/learning center faculty)

Session 3: Creating a Sustainable Learning Center Program (session geared toward administrators, focusing on cost/revenue analysis)

Expected Outcomes

Faculty will take a survey at the end of the workshop to indicate what information they will try to implement in their classrooms. Faculty and Administrators will indicate what information will be useful in trying to reimaging our writing centers.

Goal: Meet the requirements of the “Best Practices” objective
