The UNLV Writing Center, in partnership with the Teaching & Learning Commons, offers 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 meets the first Thursday of each month in person in BEH 240 from 11 a.m.-noon to discuss a shared reading designed to prompt meaningful dialogue around current hot topics in higher education and issues shaping undergraduate teaching practices. The specific reading for the month will be shared ahead of time with those who RSVP.

The final meeting of the spring is Thursday, April 2. The focus will be multilingual student writing support.
