This spring, the UNLV Writing Center, in partnership with the Teaching & Learning Commons, will resume its Community of Practice (CoP) on Effectively Managing Undergraduate Writing with the aim of bringing together instructors on campus to discuss and brainstorm best practices in teaching writing.

The group welcomes instructors teaching undergraduate-level courses across disciplines and modalities at the university. Topics for exploration may include designing strong writing prompts, delivering effective feedback, facilitating peer review, and structuring scaffolded low-stakes writing projects. 

This spring, the CoP will meet the first Thursday of each month in person in BEH 240 from 11am-12pm to discuss shared readings designed to prompt meaningful dialogue around current hot topics in higher education and issues shaping undergraduate teaching practices. Information about the reading for the month will be shared ahead of time with those who RSVP.

Mark your calendars for first meeting of the spring  on Thursday, Feb. 5.
